    Solar for dual battery setup?

    I found this on the Blue Sea website. I'll give it a whirl and see what happens. Thanks for the fast feedback. "An ACR will work with all charge sources, including an alternator, AC charger, or solar panel. However, low current charge sources might not produce the voltage rise required to force...

    Solar for dual battery setup?

    Thank you both for the quick reply. Does the "start isolation" not require that the vehicle key be in the run position?

    Solar for dual battery setup?

    Hey all, I'm going to be getting a second car and my overland vehicle, and current DD, will get solar to charge the dual battery setup while it waits for the cool trips. I want to get something that can handle more than just "maintenance" charging while on trips. I already have a Blue Sea ACR...

    Cell Booster options

    We Boost is cool, my friend has one. However, we do get into places where there is no service, you can't boost it if it's not there. I am planning on a Garmin InReach before next season. If texting can cover your needs, that may be an option. The one big drawback is, We Boost is buy once, cry...

    PSA: 4Runner (Lifted Vehicles) Catalytic Converter Theft

    I work at a hospital and they have been hitting us hard. They figured out our shift schedules and they know where the employee lots are. We lose several a month. Usually, daytime hits too. Our local PD has partnered with some tracking company and they have some sort of "sticker" that when it...

    Goal Zero and 3rd party solar

    Has anyone found a good work-around for using non goal zero panels with the Lithium Yetis? I have had a set of Overland "high efficiency" solar panels for a few years (they work great BTW). With those and a large, aka heavy as %&#@, deep cycle battery I had all the power I needed. The battery...

    Can T4R 5th gen TPMS go on trailer?

    I have seen a lot of conversation here about the ECU only being able to read 4 TPMSs.

    Inverter question

    Thanks to everyone for the help. Used a Doc Wattson meter and did some testing. The draw was the same from both inverters. I ran (played with) several tests to obtain measurements. My conclusion was that the battery was not fully charged when I started using the 300w inverter. This was due to...

    Inverter question

    I didn't have any testing gear with me and I don't have much at home either but, I'll run it again under more controlled conditions. I'll get a meter and see what it says. I appreciate the fast feedback and it falls in line with what I thought about it, however, my pool of knowledge on the...

    Inverter question

    I know different products have different efficiencies but let's pretend they are made by the same company and with the same parts. Do inverters scale the power they consume based on what output is needed or is it just lost as excess heat? Example: if I am using something that consumes 50 wats...

    Dualband radio for GMRS use?

    Another thing to consider, it's easy to switch the channels and all the "sub channels." Easy enough to have a decent bank on the ham radio to cover all the channels but, the problem will be all the "sub channels" aka PL codes. The ham radios that I have played with don't offer a quick way to...
