I use the Guest 10 Amp Dual Battery ChargePro Charger
http://www.marinco.com/product/10-amp-dual-battery-chargepro-charger-0
I use an alternator, so I mounted the charger/maintainer to the voltage regulator plate. I have a battery disconnect switch, and the maintainer is ignition protected and has indiviual fuses on both positive leads. |

I think you just need to drive the Jeep more and maintain the batteries that way. _________________ Brett

My truck has the 24V-25 amp genny and stock breadbox reg. I've got a disconnect at the under hood batt ground. I'm thinking that with the
batts connected i could use the 24V fender mt receptical to plug in the
tender (after fabing up a plug w/leads of the right size)
The initial question was whether or not anyone had experience with
either of the 2 models offered by Northern Tool.. _________________ keep 'em rollin'

A couple of us use the Bosch C7 12/24 charger + maintainer and it works very well. Easy to use, self regulating, and worry free. _________________ Jordan

I have been using the 24v model you show for about 3 years - no problem with the maintainer or my batteries - Sonny _________________ 1951 M38, 1952 M38, 1952 M100,1946 Bantam T3-C, RT-66/GRC, PP-112/GR, MT-299, DT-44 Mine Detector, MVPA # 33068, PMVPA CO |

Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 3:47 pm Post subject: 24V PIGTAIL ADAPTER |
|
|
The unit i purchased came with 2 pigtail adapters, the 1 on left with
aligator clamps, the 1 on rt was supplied with ring terminals. I had
no use for the ring terminals so i modified it as shown..
I cut off the rings and cut 2pc of copper tube 5/16 oa dia. Ran the wires thru, folded over and soldered. Used appropriate shrink tubing to ID
POS-NEG.
Plugs in nice and snug to the 24V receptical..
