Voltage boost fuses

[threedogs]

Hi has anyone used these fuses that are supposed to increase the charge rate of your Alternator.

I haven't used one but check this thread out from last year http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...oltage-Booster

Only read down to Yendor and after he said no that's good enough for me.

Just like fuel saving devices.......

Thanks , $50 for a modified fuse seemed a bit steep

On some vehicles, like the newer LandCruisers, the ECU reduces the alternator output to help reduce fuel consumption.

This can cause problems when a second battery if fitted. From what I have heard fitting a voltage boost fuse helps overcome this.

TD, yes it is very expensive. It's only a diode placed inline with the fuse.

A mate of mine was told that in his new Hilux he would need a DC-DC charger to make dual batteries work, he had a regular dual battery isolator lying around so he tried it and has never looked back.

That's the downside to the interweb thingy

You get some people that will read something somewhere and then repost it with such conviction you think the information must be correct.

Yeah he was told that by ARB though, maybe they read it on the internet! bahahah

I wouldn't think so........more likely trying to improve their bottom line (allegedly)
