  1. Hi Andy,

    the vehicle was stood for a while prior to my purchase and since then my attention as been on other parts of the l/r.

    but you are correct there was up until two weeks ago a fault on the charging system, which i finally tracked down to the earth connection in the battery box, at best i would only be getting 5amps charge but most of the time nothing, after finding and fixing the fault i now see 40-70amp on the meter most of the time.

    so yes you where correct in your thinking but the problem was fixed, but still leaves me with the battery problem.

  2. Hi Andy

    well thats good to know, i am in the process of purchasing the dual output pulstech so it will do the two batteries at the same time, the batteries are not completly discharged, one sits aroun 8-9v and the other around 10-11v after standing, the lr is in daily use when i am at home so the batteries do get topped up daily by the vehecle.

     

    I do have a pulse charger but it is a very low output milivolts and i have used regular to revive military radio batteries and to date it hasnt failed also use it with my airsoft batteries.

     

    Anyway i am away at work until first part of april and then after that i test the dual pulsetech on my gel ffr batteries and post the results on here.

     

    thanks for your posts

  4. Hi Clive sorry for the delay working away and all that, any way the main thick wire is connected to one pin and the brown with yellow trace goes to another separate terminal, there is a brown and whit wire that i assuming is for the dash warning light as this is not working and i am also assuming that it is connected to the same terminal as the thick output wire.

    what do you think

     

    thanks Martin

  6. Hi Clive

    not sure and i cant check until the 5th aug when i return home from sea, what got me wondering was that the ampmeter only shows a few amps and after looking around i noticed the third wire with a spade terminal on it.

    i soon as i get back ill post the wire colours and see if you can help, hope you enjoy w&p
