So I decided to pick these up. I'll be selling them for $135.00 with free shipping to anywhere in the conus. Where's the best place to post up a link here or something?

Using an charger when you are parked at home is a good idea too for the health of your batteries. There's a ton of them for sale cheap.

I'm not personally familiar with your truck but I can tell you in mine what I did was to run the power line from the battery through the firewall and along the driver's door sill. I removed the plastic there and fed it through the channel. Then I ran the signal wires and remote turn on from the...

The battery will be of somewhat limited value. If you take Sexy's post just above mine and go with that you'll be in good shape. If you tend to run your system really loud for only short periods of time, say less than 5 - 10 minutes than a second battery will help a fair bit. Anything more than...

Ya, thats kind of what I was thinking. Even a 25a charger will give a good charge to, say 4 x Deka 9a31'a (400 ah), if you let it run overnight. For the money it seems like some cheap insurance to me. That way every time you go outside your ride starts and sounds nice every time. Plus, it should...

Is illegal to have one installed even if its not plugged in? And what do you think it would be worth if not $150?

The ctek looks good but they are charging $139 for a 7 amp unit. This is $159 (edit: $149) for a $25.

Do u have any batts connected to the array? Which ones, how much? How much capacity do u get from the psu's?

I have converted a pc power supply for use in my R\C Helicopter hobby. It is a great source for a Bantam bc8-hp I use to charge my Li-Po batteries but I appreciate the link anyway.

Here's a link to the manufacturers product page. It explains a bit more on how it works. As far as a schematic goes I'd have to get one and open it up for a picture. I'm not sure how hard it would be to get a schematic otherwise. Anyway, the product is claiming to be a 3 stage unit. Obviously...

I don't want to be a jerk here but its really not just a regulated power supply. Its a 3 stage, computer controlled automatic charger and regulator. Thats a heck of a lot more than just a regulator.

Isn't that just a regulated power supply? I know you can charge batteries with them, amps are amps, after all... But, what I linked is a charger \ maintainer so it can rapidly charge and then go to maintenance mode automatically. So, more like a Kinetik KIPS12-45 than a regulator. Does that...

You are completely right for charging the battery. This would be for a little different purpose. This is a regulated charger, its more designed for mounting in the car. Hence, the aluminum case, mounting system and support for permanently wiring into the car. So, I'm thinking using it more as a...

Is the price good?
