That is a very good point, and certainly a concern of mine as I have a 130amp alternator. When I inquired about the rating they said the EBI Pro's published rating of 100amps is for 140f degree temps. If you drop the temp to 104F the rating is 150amps (the one you linked is 150amps at 104F). I...

http://www.intervolt.com/products/electronic-battery-isolator/ebi-series.aspx You can adjust the combine and isolate voltages to whatever you want, and it has an illuminated switch that displays when you are "combined". It also alerts for things such as under/over voltage, shorts etc. The...

Problem solved ( I hope) it appears both Diehard platinum batteries I have are faulty, they are experiencing some type of internal short. I found this hard to believe that both batteries could be faulty, but apparently they were damaged during shipment. The top positive posts on each battery are...

But wouldn't the draw disappear, when I disconnect the main wire and plug from the alternator?

But wouldn't the draw disappear, when I disconnect the main wire and plug from the alternator?

Yes, the load is there with all wires disconnected from the alternator.

I've disconnected everything I've added, winch etc. The draw is happening with the key off and I've checked every fuse/relay behind the coin holder and in the fuse block. The only way it stops is if I remove the power to the 140 amp alternator fuse. I've disconnected the starter and alternator...

Disconnected starter and alternator, it still has a 1 amp, 10 volt draw coming from the main wire into the fuse block. I disconnected every fuse/relay behind the coin holder and in the fuse block. The only one that stops it is the 140 amp alt fuse, but the alt is disconnected.

What if the diode is bad? Probably wouldn't cause a major draw would it? I'll disconnect the starter and see if that clears it up. Thanks again!

That makes sense, thank you! The saga continues, swapped batteries, truck starts runs, does a few short trips then I turn it off but leave it on acc for five minutes, go to start it and it clicks. Somehow there is a violent power draw happening, I jump it, put a volt meter on it and it shows...

2011 tacoma I went to start my truck this morning after driving it last night, but the starting battery was too dead. I always maintain my batts with the approved oddysey chargers and nothing was left on. I pressed my "combine" switch and waited, but it was still to dead for anything more than a...

I'm glad to see you putting that thing on a diet, the new goose gear setup looks perfect! My 2nd gen has a flip pac also, I need to get some build pics up soon...

I have both gens, the second one was maybe 25lbs heavier than the first, but not a 100lbs. I guess I am just a studbolt for lifting 175lb bumper with an 80lb winch!

Are you sure the arb weighed 175lb? Mine felt less than a 100lbs, maybe 175 with a winch. I didn't use a scale, just my girlish arms.

One thing people don't realize about Partner steel is that they will custom make any contraption your heart desires, and do it fast, and it will be low priced and on your doorstep ASAP. I requested a custom aluminum box that was open at both ends to build my own combo slide. 45 bucks and it was...
