Installing Aux Battery & Prepping Box
Andy,
I would be very interested to see pics, and have some information about your air filter conversion. I would like to do it too, as I have already took out the redi-line generator. Please let me know when you have some info/pics! Thank you! Stephen H 81 FC-33SB Plant city, FL _____ From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy Coleman Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 6:03 PM To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Installing Aux Battery & Prepping Box Fellow Wanderlodgers: I'm in the process of installing an auxilliary starting battery in the passenger front storage box of my 83' FC-35. Like many of you, I don't like the idea of having to fire up the generator to start the bus after running the lights all night. In preparation for the battery installation, I've been removing the stock felt that lines the inside of the front passenger box. Can anybody recommend a paint that might stand up to a battery? I imagine that I should also vent the box to prevent a build up of battery gases - which is why I'm worried about the paint. Also, what size battery should I install? Half my box is taken up with the engine air filter - so I don't have much room. My Caterpillar mechanic told me that it is best to have two batteries in sequence to start a big diesel engine. If I only have space for one, what size should I use? Thanks everyone! I'll be posting photos of my air intake modification with part numbers for everyone to use soon. My mod is a version of the idea that Randy installed in Bruce's FC. Andy Coleman Spring Lake Heights, NJ 83' FC-35 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
