I am planning on putting three batteries in my truck one for all the stock stuff and the other two for audio, 8 kc lights, 2000 watt power inverter, and winch. Does anyone know where I can get a battery box for two battery that is water proof or should I just try to find someone to make me one and sould it be lined with something. Also I have been looking for a high output alternator and can't seem to find one so if any one knows of a place to find one could you let me know. Thanks

 

uh....3 batterys? wow.







1 or two deepcycles should be more than plenty then like a 200amp alternater. Jusnes modified, an R-F vendor, has high output alternaters. I'd prefer mounting the batterys in the bed, like under a toolbox, or even in the tool box. Put it in a sealed box and route your cables on the passengerside frame rail up to the engine compartment.

Please....create a sig so we know what year motor model etc your truck is.

 

I'm going with three so when I leave the radio on with out the truck running the one battery won't die in ten min. And they are all going to be yellow tops.

 

3 batteries is over kill.....if you run 2 yellow tops with a battery isolator so you will have something to start the truck with you will be fine....

if 1 battery will run dead after 10 minutes of stereo play, 2 will be 20 minutes.....so whats the point.......might as well fill your bed full of batteries......you have to have 1 battery for starting.....

even if you run 3 batteries, you NEED to come up with something that allows them to still be 12v and have all 3 being charged w/ 1 being isolated for starting.....you dont want all 3 to be dead...



i dont think you can get enough stereo equipment in a Ranger to run a yellow top down in 10 minutes..

 

Three yellow tops? Are you trying to supplement power to your whole neighborhood during a blackout?

I assume by your desire for so much battery capacity that you intend on leaving these accessories on without the engine running frequently?

 

yellow tops are ment to be drained and recharged since they are deep cycle batteries....

 

yellow tops are the ****.

they last quite a bit even when winching.
