Dead Battery

hahahahaha....you're not wrong Same as me old Nissan G60. Had it for 6 years and apart from a few repairs it ended up costing me $27 a week and I did 120,000km with it!!!

Hi drivesafe

Originally it was the cranking battery in my Nissan G60. I bought the battery in May 1998 in Ayr,Qld. We were on the road then and did a lot of driving. About 3 years ago I bought a Desert King(not that good a brand) and used that as the main battery and hooked the Yuasa up as the auxilliary in the G60. Last year I bought the GQ and transferred the Yuasa over to the GQ as the auxilliary and replaced the Exide which was in the truck with a Century Overlander4WD.

My vehicle is permanently packed for travelling and I use it a lot. The fridge is also permantly tied down and never removed. So the fridge gets used at least once a month. All my extra electronic gadjets are hardwired to the auxilliary battery. I kept the battery topped up with distilled water on a regular basis and kept the terminals clean. Nothing else.

Ah DS lol.....you really wanted to know what battery isolator Willlem is using didn't you?

Leroy

I can answer that coz I saw Rotronics written on the box.

Thanks folks and it obviously works well.
Cheers

Geez Davoe, those are toy car batteries in a big 4by. Better upgrade to the 700's, eh?

yep got home for break and my yuasa 700cca was so dead It wouldnt even operate the kill switch led (2 1/2 years old) I couldnt even jump it so I pulled my battery out of the station wagon and it started 1st go (love those 2h donks) so I have taken it to the leccies for a recharge and load test if it is stuffed I will put the 560cca from the wagon in it to sell it and set the wagon up with a couple of decent batteries probably give the uasas another go but my local quote is 170 each

Bob put me down for 10 bucks on Willem.
The man is unstoppable he just keeps going and going and going.

Don't tell anyone else but he is my hero.

Ahhh Uncle Bob,,

I have learnt to take you with a pinch of salt. But maybe if my battery does run down I'll come over for some advice? lol
