Thread: Question for 12v/Traxide legends

I never got in, still waiting for acceptance into the closed group…

Perhaps the moderator/admin is having a Bex and a good lie down.

I think he needs psychiatrist.

I just got banned for telling the truth, something he is apparently not able to handle.

What was the reasoning for that?

Hi Southseas, there was a question raised by someone with a Ford Ranger, who wanted to make some changes to his existing setup.

I suggested he see a Ford dealer and have his SMART alternator function turned off and he could then use a basic VSR ( I did not mention mine ).

The FB page admin came in and stated he would be better to have the DC/DC device, so he could charge lithium batteries.

I came back and posted the with the SMART alternator function turned off, all he needed to charge a lithium battery was an ignition controlled relay.

The admin then stated you need 14.6v to fully charge a lithium battery, to which I suggested he look at the secs for lithium batteries and 14.6v is the MAXIUM safe charge voltage not the required charging voltage and to this, he chucked a wobbly and banded me.


That FB page is going nowhere.


He has given me the idea of getting my FB page set up to answer questions for those not fortunate enough to have Land Rovers?

You may regret that. As well-intentioned as you may feel, and as necessary as it may be to have a source of expert advice, you'll still have to deal with nobbers as an admin.
I'd suggest saving yourself the headache.

Yep, I think I need to have a good think about it first!
