Old man's got one of those seems to work a treat. . Thinking might get one myself. . [emoji106] [emoji106]

3000 amp peak current sounds impressive. What does that equate to in the more relatable cold cranking amps PB?Quote:

Its simply a duty cycle issue in most regards. The 'device' will only supply what the driven device requires. My starter wont draw 3000amps, plus for the instant the current flows, the cables temp with rise with the resistance and its going to be over and done, car started. The insulation will take that heat for the highly intermittent times it is used. I have no doubt there is some marketing BS associated, and there may be an element also of prolonged capacity to it as well, don't care, just as long as the damn thing works when I need it, I am not too concerned with the physics of it .Quote:

Well, should settle today.
Two adjoining blocks a bit over 1000sqm each at Armstrong Beach just east of Sarina Qld.
Short walk/drive to the beach/boat ramp and only 10k to the golf course.
Nirbloodyvana!!!
Wow… I will get one of these itechworld rippers to start my Abrams M1 (whilst wearing my arc flash PPE )Quote:

Plassy, I didn't know so rang Itech and they advise the 3000a designation is actually 3000CCA, however it is duty rated. So whilst a larger battery AGM/Wet Cell, even lithium has a CCA it also has a listed reserve capacity where it will deliver at some rating (probably assume the ability to supply some cranking capacity before either the internal cells get too hot or the current is depleted to the point of either being ineffective or unable to adequately crank.. The ITECH unit is 3000CCA, but the duty point is massively lower time wise, however it is alternately linked to the number of starts at that rated 3000CCA. I think the box states the unit can do 40 jump starts on up to an 8L diesel before requiring a recharge, however unsure if these are one after another of some other timeline. Anyway, its a monsterQuote:

Ended up with a jump start from a Landcruiser just to rub it in. I don't trust it now so need something with more oomph.Quote:

Thanks to the puter file received it turns out after further investigations that a usual Aussie-Case backhoe runs the same torque converter sleuthing [emoji1998][emoji106][emoji106]
Found one ready in NSW ready for changeover and rolling again [emoji120][emoji106][emoji106]

Bought a better heater today for the fuel line, all metal, banjo fittings and gaskets, 8mm barbs, FINALLY happy - I think!

Inhave a GB70. I used it to start Roofy's car in the back yard when we did the big clean up. It had not been run for a year and the radio didn't even work. I was a little worried but left it sit a minute then cranked it into life. To Mt surprise I immediately removed it like I have before ans the car shut down. I jumped it again and left it connected for 15 minutes while the Alternator caught up.Quote:

Also have the Noco GB70 that's rated at 2000 amps. Haven't needed it yet for the Patrol but I do use it to start my old Kubota tractor occasionally rather than buy a new battery for it..
My previous 400 amp Powertech, that I got as a gift, wouldn't start the tractor and also wouldn't start my wife's 2.2l TD Sorento.
Ha, when I joined telecom in Perth 1977 we had a drott the same, good machine 💪Quote:

Bought a new second battery to run the fridge etc, century n70zzlxhd overlander, couldn’t afford a lithium and I got a solar blanket that suits an agm battery so win win going camping this weekend so should keep the booze cold 🍻
Anyone know if they’re still selling this stuff that popped up on my Youtubey suggestions whilst searching for a free copy of Ben Stillers movie ‘Envy-Vapoorize’ [emoji90] [emoji97] [emoji383] [emoji202][emoji23]

Finally bit the bullet and bought 75mm lift Dobinsons springs all round for my older now bush ute to replace the 50mm ones with 75mm lift shocks and bump stops to suit previously fitted. They’ve done alright to date keeping my Australia wide road max height limits lift yet performance of 3” shock down travel on the tracks flexing but found they are destroying my rear kevlar socks on the airbags and have lost the protective airbag end caps when the differing spring/shock combo are completely off pressure/loose.

6 months after ordering we got to pick it up today. It's a bloody nice car but will take a while to work out what all the buttons do...

Very nice mate. I tried to convince the misus into one of these and she wasn’t really into them.

Should be, essentially is the same car with a wagon body and coil springs. Still using the tried and tested 4JJ which was the main reason we chose the isuzu over the other options.Quote:

Lets see how this goes! Specs are good and 3 year under bonnet warranty. 30 kgs of lead goodness 😂😂😂
That's a new one to me. Where are these ones made mate?Quote:

In a lead acid battery, more weight is good. And it fits the ARB tray, ar 305 mm length.Quote:

I've checked out in the book for a couple of things I was curious about like "rough terrain mode" but the rest I'll just figure out as we go.

You can’t go wrong. I had the first Dmax, when they took their design back off Holden. Back then it had the 4JJ engine. Years later and they are still using it. Kinda says something hey.Quote:

Finally bought the last piece of the puzzle to lift our Dmax. Got the rear suspension sorted. Hopefully what I have worked out will work out and give a nice comfy ride in most situations.
Went and had a look at one of these today but didn't drive it, just tyre kicking. Jeez it's a bloody nice car mate. What are you planning to do with the wheels? Leave them road-based or will you put 17's on it (I'm told they will fit) with better offroad rubber?Quote:
