    24v battery trickle charger

    Both batteries share the load equally when cranking (starter load). He left his headlights on, that is why his front battery was dead and why jumping it worked! This thread is about as screwed up as it can get. People are contradicting each other, and talking pure BS. If you do not know the...

    24v battery trickle charger

    Preventative maintenance is always a good policy. My point was, you can leave a battery tender connected to each battery all the time. Wire 2 up permanently(if you think you need that). I don't think much of them, but Harbor Freight has trickle chargers for less than $5, and you could easily...

    24v battery trickle charger

    I am not opposed to using battery tenders/solargisers. He said his battery shop recommended a 24v charger. I said I do not, and that 2 separate chargers is a better choice. Charging 2 12v batteries in series with a 24v charger is not the BEST choice. Specifically with his CUCV, that does...

    24v battery trickle charger

    I do not think your shop understands how they CUCV charging system works. Individual charging is best. In your case, easily available and cost effective. Even on a deuce or 5 ton, individual carging is always best(not necessarily practical or needed though).

    Moving M-39 Series 5 tons to the Korean/Vietnam War section

    All the 900's? 939 a1 and 2's? They are different motors. 915's. different motors. So, should we seperate all 5 tons, by motor? Who is going to go though all the old threads and break them down for this?

    24v battery trickle charger

    The front battery does all the 12v stuff(like a normal truck). You left your light on, so the front battery went dead. The rear battery is used in series(in-line) with the front battery for starting and GP power. Each battery has it's own charging system. I was using an analogy(it was not a...

    GP Module Theory of Operation

    If the input and output voltage is not the same(relay activated), that shows the relay is bad(has resistance), which is most likely bad/dirty contacts. Complete diagnostics are covered in the -20TM.

    Moving M-39 Series 5 tons to the Korean/Vietnam War section

    We are not going to forget about our last 7 years of threads. What other thread? If it was locked,was this topic "killed" there?

    Moving M-39 Series 5 tons to the Korean/Vietnam War section

    One real problem is, sorting/moving all the old threads into a new forum. Nobody said we would not do this. Nothing happens fast around here.

    GP Module Theory of Operation

    It should be 12 ish. It should be the same in and out of the relay(with the GPs on). If it is not, your relay is bad.

    24v battery trickle charger

    You have 2 separate batteries that have their own charging systems. They are not used equally in a cucv, like they are in a 2.5 ton or 5 ton truck. The best way to charge them is, individually. That is how you would use a 24v charger.

    24v battery trickle charger

    no, it's electricity, not water.

    24v battery trickle charger

    My opinion is, you would be better off with 2 separate 12v trickle chargers.
