Thread: New sliders & dual battery for the Disco, and a service

heat isnt the death of battery's its poor maintance, eg. using tap
water instead of de min water, and the worst of all is letting a cell go
dry!
vibrations wont play a big part in the death of a batt till later on in its life.

on the heat issue, did you know that if you flattened a car batt
you can get it to self charge, maybe enough to get you going, by
heating it up!
i have proved this once myself, also say it on abc tv show
bush mechanics.

When you fitted them did you get an idea of how much they weighed?

Don't think they would weigh more than a couple of kilos each.

Thanks drivesafe that'll be the one then.

Hi Baz,

How hard were those sliders to fit and how solid are they, do you think they will support the weight without flexing up into the bottoms of the doors?

They look good though, and the stainless step part looks good is it wide enough for an effective step?

the SC40 easily handles my 60l engel and 3 of my camp lamps using a 130amp hr trojan deep cycle battery.

Drive safe,

thanks for the update - I will look into that for mine. Redback - could you let us know how yours has functioned after a while?

Cheers
