In real life the difference in charge rate between the two types is negligible.
    New types of batteries, new Tech, it all gets overwhelming, but the edit makes sense. . . . Will see what the local sparky has in stock.

    Thanks for that info RT

    Ive been a KA boy since '79' then ran away and joined the Army. Been away for 20+ yrs, and the place hasnt changed much at all, and for a SuperTown, it hasnt really got the infrastructure to refleck that. Im hapy to be back in the country. Hated driving in the East with the amount of traffic, and only recently getting 2 lanes from Syd - Melb it came all too late for me.
    A lot of families i knew, are still around, we have just gotten older lol

    Well, in the next 3-4 weeks, i have this list going into the Patrol:
    • Going the IronMan direction for my lift - 2"
    • Dominator 3" Stainless Exhaust
    • Redarc Dual Battery System
    • RaceTech EGT and Boost Gauge
    • Dawes valve and Needle
    • EGR Plate
    • Upgrading my lightforce 170 hallogen to HID with a Upgrade kit (looking at a 22" lightbar to sit on the Roof Rack
    • Uniden UH8080S NB 80 Channel UHF & Scanner w/ AT870 6.5db Antenna
    • RAM iPad Air Mount to hold iPad with MudMaps installed running through a Bad Elf Pro+ GPS
    • Set of Titan Drawers for the back with wings
    • 50Lt Waeco Fridge/Freezer
    • Full Length Roof Rack
    • 2mtr Awning off passenger side, and a little one off the rear
    • Thumper Air Compressor
    • IronMan 48" Hi Lift Jack
    • Anderson plug through to rear bumper for charging the Trailer Batterie, running through a Ctek Multi XS25000


    Its all on order, i just need it too arrive.

    After this and Xmas is out the way, i will look at:
    1. Front Air Lockers
    2. 12000lb winch
    3. In dash dedicated GPS/Stereo unit (Hoping too get one for xmas)


    All the electrics will be done by a sparky, but trying to find a sparky in town (there is only the one in a workshop but looking for another, because i dont like the work this one does) is proving difficult. Im not a Auto Electrician, so i want it done, once, and right the first time.
    Will attaempt the mechanical stuff myself, with a little help from here. I suppose I need a CatchCan too, so yea, add that too the list.

    Photos as it happens
