I got my 240 amp alt from you guys few weeks ago....got diodes and my yinlong bank built and gonna install everything this weekend....waiting on my box to get built and then its time to aggravate my neighbors a little. Awesome products.....Autotech has definitely made a strong name for itself with customer service and quality!!
Has the 240 worked ok at idle as far as charging my buddies 290 works great at higher rpm but idle it has charging issues I ordered a 290 last week and called this morning and dropped it to the 240 to be safe
I just got a new Load handler alternator to replace my old original load handler and this new one has remote sense capability but old one didn't so want to use the feature. Do I just connect a signal wire from the S terminal to positive of one of the batteries?
So just to clarify, you run your sensor wire to the diode off the alt to the + side of the alt? Got that part. What about the other side of the sensor wire that runs back to the fuse box? Will your battery/alternator light be on, on the dash? Do you just tape it off or hook it up to the back side of the diode also/just splice the wire add diode then run a wire from it to the charging terminal? Thanks for everything
I have a '13 Jeep JK with a stock 160amp alt. It charges at 14.2v but I have dual agm deep cycle/starting batteries that need at least 14.4v to properly charge. What would be the right diode to get up to say 14.8-15v?
don't do it. AGM's have higher concentration acid in them, due to glass matt, they won't sulfate due to stratification like flooded batteries, so don't need to be brought up that high. All you will be doing is promoting positive grid corrosion premature failure.
@@thedavesofourlives1 Paperwork from the manufacturer that came with the batteries as well as the labeling on them, specifically says they need constant 14.4v to charge properly. They are deep cycle/starting.
Came across this video doing some research i see the diode thank u for that my question is i have a ford that i had the regulator changed to work like this it worked over a year my question is i think the diodes stopped working and when i pulled apart the harness it had a resistor in line with the yellow wire is that needed to replace?
Do you have to connect the sense wire to the positive alternator post? Can't you just connect it to battery positive since it 's connected to the alternator anyway so you can compensate for voltage drop/sag?
@@xBLACKxOPSxSECRETSx2 the first gen tundras, sequoias, FJ cruisers, 3rd gen 4Runners have the 4.7 v8. So, I was able to make the diodes work from the sensor wire at the fuse box. It’s the white wire. I spliced into it & added diodes & was charging up to 15.7v
