Second that. And the steelie hose holder is tight.Love the 70s grill shelf!
Can you explain the details of your battery charging setup? I'm looking to copy you for my 73 hibernating as well.Hibernation mode.....

This is what I do....(If its wrong please let me know/don't be shy)....I use the 24 volt tender shown in the photo above (post #14,021) and hook a red clamp to the Pos. post on one battery, and the black clamp on the negative post on the other battery.....Can you explain the details of your battery charging setup?

I wrote to Noco support after 'doing my own research!" and getting confused. They recommended the Gen5x2 model for my 24v dual battery set-up. Works a champ.This method charges the "battery bank" as a unit, like the alternator does. However it does not "balance" the individual batteries within the bank. It is possible to over-charge one battery and undercharge the other when charging the bank as a whole. I prefer to "maintain" the batteries individually to keep the balance.
One man's method.
Think it makes sense. I don't isolate the batteries either. The eyelets are PITA so having a quick disconnect would be nice. Can you buy two sets of their alligator clips that the eyelets then connect to?@Guyute & @stayalert - Thanks! I have the NOCO 5x2 in my garage currently as well. They say to charge the batteries separately as 12v units, which makes sense. My current goal is to replace my battery cables/terminals with something better, incorporate their quick-connect eyelets to plug into for charging, and I'm also trying to see if I can add a disconnect switch to the full circuit. That way I can use that instead of having to undo the connection at the terminal whenever I need to work on electrics. Does this all make sense? I'm no electrical engineer so I'm open to thoughts.
Will do, I need to update my thread anyways...Think it makes sense. I don't isolate the batteries either. The eyelets are PITA so having a quick disconnect would be nice. Can you buy two sets of their alligator clips that the eyelets then connect to?
Keep us posted.
