Hi guys,
I've also done quite a bit with gel batts. I disagree with Evil Twin regarding charge voltage.
The slightly different chemistry of the gel battery shold not be charged to the same max...

G'day all,

I haven't had time to get on the forum for a while as you may have noticed, I've been busier than a cat trying to cover up a turd on a concrete floor the last few months and things look...

G'day stumpjumper, good to see someone finally asks the question before heading out and getting lost. Some good information in your thread from everyone, so I'll add my 2 cents as well. I'm...

I am one who snaps a branch or twig, or sticks a piece of dunny paper in the ground when I think things could change and there is a chance of becoming lost.
Lay a few sticks out as an arrow, tie...

All good and interesting info here.

Sounds like a faulty coolant temperature sensor, check this thread;...

Heavy duty springs definately a better option than spring spacers. With the extra weight of the winch and battery your front coil springs are compressed, over bigger bumps the springs can compress...

Mate have you thought about one of these

Only used it once, it is heavy and you have to man-handle in awkward places, don't need it on the...

I run the same as Scottie, I would not buy one of those, nothing wrong with them just personal choice.....yes they are small and a bit crowded.

When money permits I will be running my software...

Also have a real good look at the clutch. If you slipped it even for a short time it may have put hot spots on the flywheel which can cause a shudder ,especially in reverse as it torque`s the drive...

To get the best performance and life from a gel battery you need to use chargers that have gel compatible algorithm. Next best is a multistage smart charger like a CTEK or Redarc. Don't use one of...
