January 3, 201015 yr I have an Iraggi 260 amp in there now. The way all the pulleys mesh together there is no way I can run a second alternator or else I would. I am adding a d6500 for the front and 2 d3100s in the back.I see. I haven't messed with the Aviators before. What motor does that have in it? I know a Navigator we did a few years ago we put a EMS 300 amp alt. on it. We had to cut and tig weld the factory braket to make it work. It had 2 4gauge outputs. Worked great though.
January 8, 201015 yr Author Just ordered 2 d3100s for the back and a d6500 for the front. Will be in monday.

January 17, 201015 yr Looks great, just get the batteries off the concrete thats a wives tail You think so? I'm not sure if it applies to AGM, but it's better to be safe than sorry right Mark?
January 18, 201015 yr Author What about agm batteries and concrete? The batteries are plastic wrapped so I don't think any contact will matter.
January 18, 201015 yr What about agm batteries and concrete? The batteries are plastic wrapped so I don't think any contact will matter.There is a reason new batteries are NEVER kept on the floor, it's said that concrete will drain them. Mark disagrees apparently
January 18, 201015 yr Looks great, just get the batteries off the concrete thats a wives tail heard exactly the same
January 18, 201015 yr Till this day I avoid putting any battery on concrete.I do too, but it appears we can: You see, the myth that concrete drains batteries does have some historical basis. Many, many years ago, wooden battery cases encased a glass jar with the battery inside. Any moisture on the floor could cause the wood to swell and possibly fracture the glass, causing it to leak. Later came the introduction of the hard rubber cases, which were somewhat porous and had a high-carbon content. An electrical current could be conducted through this container if the moist concrete floor permitted the current to find an electrical ground. The wise advice of the old days to "keep batteries off concrete" has been passed down to us today, but it no longer applies because of the advanced technology of today’s batteries.

January 19, 201015 yr Author Hopefully the subs are in this weekend. I am back at college now so we can only work on it on the weekends.
January 19, 201015 yr O hey guys i was just talking to a maintenance guy, who deals with those things used to clean floors in a mall, they use water to clean the floors and what not, and sorry I don’t know the name of the machine. Apparently they run on these huge batteries (300ah) which are 6volt and are made to completely discharge and recharge up. i asked him about batteries on concrete and he SAID if left on concrete they WILL dissipate, but over the course of a 1-2years at a time, the older the battery the more acceptable it is to this old wise tail!!So that is what he said but I like to play it safe and just put some wood under my batteries which are in my garage. and OP NICE work! looks like it is comming along very nicely!
