WHAT RISKS?

It’s only getting personal because you keep posting up deliberately misleading info.

If your unsubstantiated claims had any validity, you should be able to post up relevant info to back your claims. You never do.

I’ve leant my trade from hands on experience and from HONEST info posted on the net.

On the other hand, you have a thoughty or read some grossly exaggerated advertising hype and then you’re hell bent on making out it’s fact, because you posted it.

Don’t complain when your misinformation comes back to bite you, it’s your doing.

Hi Javi,
Those c-tek d250s are they not dual, as in one connection for alternater, and one for solar input, are you going to also charge from solar panels.?
If so I think you will need some thing to regulate it and those C-Tek dual are the best way to go for that.
Re your question about negative connections, it seems as though all extra negative connections should go to stud,( body)
(i.e. nothing extra connected to neg terminal on cranking battery)


Cheers Ken

Can you sort your issues.

I appreciate you both have your own points of view and have a lot to contribute but ...........

Thanks

Garry

Stop arguing guys.

Both work but look at the cost and what you want to do with it.

So what your saying is just let Wilbur post up his rubbish, let others think that it’s factual and then when they spend big bucks on gear they never needed, then they might come and buy the right gear off me.

I pay to advertise on this site and when people post up about other brands, I don’t comment unless they have the info wrong, and on a number of occasions, I have helped a number of people with other brands, sort out problems with their gear.

This is not the case here ( and on a number of other threads ), Wilbur has repeatedly posted up erroneous info and continually implies that using my gear could cause problems, without having a single shred of evidence to justify such claims.

Now if there was a potential for problems, I wouldn’t mind someone posting up info about such problems. This is not the case with Wilbur’s posts, he is simply slandering my gear for his own sick gratification.

If this is not the case then maybe the rest of you can answer why someone would go out of their way to mislead other AULRO members like he is doing?

For my part, I do not know who is right or wrong - I suspect there are aspects of both views that are relevant but the point is that when either of you post something on these charger related topics the other responds and the thread just ands up as a shouting match - devaluing the information coming out in the thread.

In know you both have provided valuable information in a range of areas on AULRO and you are to be congratulated on this - but where threads deal with dual battery systems, chargers etc then maybe there needs to be a self imposed moratorium from both of you in responding. Others can provide suitable responses and a poster can always PM either of you for your view.

Clearly if you have vendor rights then by all means use the appropriate sections but clearly if either of you respond to these electrical posts it starts again.

Okay Gary, what you say makes sense, and I will comply and in future will not answer any posts relating to dual battery systems or chargers.

However, I do feel entitled to defend myself to this extent-

When I first innocently advised someone to use a DC-DC convertor I was so visciously attacked by Drivesafe and Blknight that I read a few previous posts on the subject to find out why the attack was made. At the time I knew nothing of the Traxide unit.

I soon realised that the Traxide was made and sold by Drivesafe.

Since then all I have done is POLITELY put across an alternative point of view when it seemed useful, and repeatedly said that I have no fight with the Traxide unit.

I do though unreservedly apologise to having been a party to ill will on what is otherwise such a friendly site.

Cheers all,

Paul

landy guys dont get personal dont turn this thread into a salgging match.

I have taken this quote below form a South African forum about something like what's happening here, which are also related to you down under

Fellow Land Rover owners I have always regarded us as people from gentry stock, after all we have green and gold blood in our veins as is our National sporting teams. We have tradition, heritage and proud of the brand. We greet each other, we rush out and help each other in need. Don't throw that away by responding in a nasty manner to bored unrelated people trawling the thread and trying to stirr. Just ignore it and accept it from where it came from.
