Mine arrived Tuesday, just need to find some time to go pick it up (and leave my credit card at home - things tend to find their way into my shopping bag at the gun store). I run a full size and have tried to get my wife to ditch her LC9 for a Shield, but she isn't a huge fan. Now she has no...

I know this is off topic, but this deal is too good to not pass along to all my friends in the overlanding world. Some of you know I'm a big proponent of concealed carry for self defense (lookin' at you, Jason). If anyone needs or would like an additional concealed carry pistol, you can't go...

I only go when I have time to stand around and watch & wait. Also, none of this "hide it in the back room" stuff. I dropped mine off in next to an empty bay and they brought their charger over. I watched it charge the whole time and we both looked at the results. On Bill's charger, we got to...

They will be thrilled to help. We went to AL once for the Ga. Trail Riders annual drive/camp event and won some nice schwag, including a gift certificate for a local offroad supply shop that turned into part of a Viair 300P 12v compressor.

Who do I have to bribe for that? ;) Can I have the kids pull from the hat? Maybe they'll be lucky!

He said it was a 31M and the size looked roughly the same, but you're right and it probably was not. The sticker for it on the rack was missing. See post above - I ended up not having to take it, but I seem to recall the stats being 775 CCA vs. 1150 185 min RC vs 205 105 amp hours @20 hr...

Well, luckily I was able to search around on my own and find the last one in town about an hour away, so I drove over today and swapped it out. Per the guy I spoke to yesterday, they are not selling any more platinum batteries at all - I'm assuming he meant (or didn't know) *until the Northstar...

Well, Sears will warranty the battery - but only for what they have in stock, and they don't carry the PC2150 any more. They have a Diehard Gold 31M with lower CCA, lower RC and higher 20 hr rate. Debating getting it only because otherwise I'm without a battery in my truck for who knows how long...

We hit my battery with a couple of different size charges, including an 80 amp charge. The fact that it still won't hold a charge and drops down to about 12.0 amps eventually - is there anything else I should try, or start the warranty process with Sears?

I'll give you a ring in the morning when I head over. I think I remember how to get there, although I'm only familiar with the loading dock. :wings:

I have calls from 3:30 - 5:30, but I have a couple of hours tomorrow AM after the kids get on the bus. I'm essentially free from 7 am to 9:30 am.

So how do we coordinate a charge & test session? ;)

Fair enough - you provided enough for me to look into it further, thanks!

More good conversation. DD, what do you think of the Sears charger that Naptown linked on page 2 of the thread? I'd be willing to spend $110 for a charger a lot more than I'd be willing to spend $300 considering we only have the single 31M.

I don't care about getting a larger or multi-bank charger. If this one will do the trick, I'm good with $110 (Christmas present to myself). :) There is a guy on TW that builds custom alternator/wiring kits for people who want to upgrade. I may look at his kit and see what the voltage is, but...

Okay, I finally got a chance to read and digest this. First, ****** - at least half the Taco owners I know on Tacomaworld who offroad have this battery. I can't believe I never read about this before buying it. :( Second, I guess there is no information about whether the charger due out in...

Wow, that is a lot to consume - I'll need to read it again when I'm not on my phone. What surprised me was that it maintained the same charge (+/- 0.2v) for a solid 12 months, and then suddenly this out of the blue. My driving habits have not changed - it gets driven at least every 2-3 days in...

I have a set of bed lights (switch activated), a winch, an under-hood light (activated by opening the hood) and a 12v socket run to the bed of the truck that has nothing plugged into it.

I swapped out the stock battery for a 31M AGM battery last year and although it has been great up to this point, for a few months now I'm having trouble with it losing voltage pretty quickly. Granted, I don't drive my truck much but even after an hour trip somewhere it is down within 1-2 days...

How much without the grill, grill attachment and table attachments? How high up does the rack go, and how much weight can it hold? We have a Tepui Autana with annex that we deploy for us and our kids. Looking to move it to a trailer and off the truck, but we carry a portable picnic table and...
