PT Battery Banks

[Richard Hayden]

Gregory,

One minor point, your #8 has a '87PT38. All else appears accurate, except
possibly the RPM thingy. Have a good day.

I think the spit banks happened around 91. My 94Pt has 3 bats for the
engine and 8 for the house. I just installed a generator battery up
front for gen starting. Take CurtS number with you for the trip. He
has a 86pt38-8V and is up on the entire rig. Curt is one of the many
great folks of helpful knowledgable BB owners and number 8 on my speed
dial. Remember that the DD and the Cat have very different RPM ranges.
In a Detroit V92, 2000 RPM is the max even decending a hill.
