Hey there all, i have just bought an Arrid Twincharge and hooked it up myself. i am unsure if it is working properly (other than the fan making a noise) but i believe i have done it right. I just invested in a new multimeter to
test her out. This is what I found. PRIMARY starting battery with car OFF = 12.98-13Volts, car ON = 14-14.3volts depending on revs. SECONDARY Trojan battery, car OFF = 12.6-13v, car ON with twingcharge running = jumps up to 14-14.2v for a few seconds then drops back to between 12.8-13.4v and stays around there. Does this sound ok? Obviously im no electrician! Also, if I unhook the
orange (input lead) from the secondary battery I can get a reading of up to14.4-15v straight from the twincharge, why does it drop when I connect it to the terminal, is this just because it is charging?
Does all this sound good? I am traveling around Oz and want to make sure it is working ok.
Cheers for the help, greatly appreciated.
