All the Chinese #(%& is pretty much made by the same company.
This is a water heater, no? Is it shutting down because it's getting the water to temp?
Another common issue is the included incoming air filter is too restrictive and can cause high internal temps, but that usually throws an E05...
Some would say it's a minor risk.
They're probably not wrong. The odds of something going wrong are slim. The problem is, if they go wrong, can you implement a FER and get on the road?
You're on a forest service road and you get a leak.... how long until you realize you dumped all your...
The above is partially true for systems that measure only voltage - newer systems made in the past decade also measure resistance, inductance, etc and don't rely solely on voltage unless you get something crappy.
It will accept the 100A+50A as 150A until such time as it's full, or internal...
The pulse is one of duration, not of high voltage - so no issues damaging anything.
With multiple chargers - not true, all things being equal, it's additive. If you have 50A coming in from solar and 100A coming from your alternator you're going to be charging @ 150A..(again, all things being...
I started it.
It's been hibernating for over a year... figured I should at least get its juices flowing.
~35*... started right up....no hesitation.. didn't even have batteries on a charger/maintainer.
That spin on oil filter kit has oil pressure up immediately, and it's great.
I hope you're using a 24->12V converter and not just tapping into a single battery.
That's not a leak, that's a hemorrhage.
Those batteries are 100AH+, meaning you're pulling close to half (or more) of that, in 24 hours. Meaning you got a 2A+ draw. That's not insignificant.
Either find out...
While a hydronic heating system sounds great, it adds complexity.
With complexity, comes the increased opportunity for something to go wrong.
Why would you complicate one of the few systems that's REQUIRED for your engine to operate?
You get a coolant leak, and you're dead in the water. Sure...
The solarizer/pulsetech is not really a charger, but a desulfator. It doesn't put out enough juice to charge the battery. It sends high frequency pulses (PWM) to the battery to prevent sulfation. That's it.
It is normally 'on' at all times, even when engine is running, so no issues.
SLA...
OK, even if they're 250AH, they're still only gonna be rated to 50% DoD (Depth of Discharge) for full life. Most are rated at 80% DoD MAX, but at significantly lower life.
In addition, Lifepo4 have cycle lives in the 3000-5000 range, whereas AGMs are only rated for ~1K cycles MAX with most...
No it doesn't.
4D is generally 200AH, not 250...
AND....only half of that is usable..
AND..... AGMs are on par, price-wise, with LiFePo4.
AND.... 2x 4Ds weigh ~234lbs for 200AH usable..
AND.... 2x Lifepo4 weigh ~48lbs for 200AH usable..
AND...Lifepo4 can recharge quicker..
Who said anything about battleborn? They're overpriced.
Right now, LifePo4 batteries are going for less than $300 for 12V@100AH, 200AH 24VDC rack mounts with all the bells and whistles are going for ~$1200

$240 - $12 coupon = $228

I ran through all this years ago.
Keep it 24V - You can charge from the alternator.
Skip the DIY liFepo4 - commercial systems are dirt cheap these days. Whether you go rackmount or decided to series/parallel 12V batteries, the minimal cost savings doing it yourself isn't worth it.
Get a 24V...
I know you said you fixed it, but double check that your button on your transfer case lever isn't stuck in. Shoot some electrical contact cleaner in there and actuate it a bunch of times to help clear out anything that may be causing it to stick.
Went to open my door and heard a bunch of metal parts drop and my door handle didn't work.
Opened it up, and found the spring on the latching mechanism decided it didn't want to live anymore.
Ordered a new latch. Installed it... and handle wouldn't go back in.
Pulled it back out... checked...
While it may not be an issue for others (or the OP), for security reasons, I want something that can be retracted/stowed from inside.
With my M934 I wrapped a loop of paracord around the top step, and once I was in, was able to lift it up and bring it inside.
I'm more concerned about 2 legged...
