[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8564801, member: 661255"] I bought the batteries used from work, remember? They cost $180 each new, and I paid $50 each for them being 3-4 years old and float charged 24/7 by a software company. I could sell these for that easy on craigslist, which is what I plan to do. I have the money for lifepo, and now i've got a connection to hopefully get less than retail. Two are conventional and two are hairpin wound. To send them in for new regs and get an external regulator isn't going to be super cheap, and I'd rather get all 350 amp alternators anyways so I can get the maximum out of my charging system. I'm not changing alternators to gain on the meter. I'm fixing the problem to protect my battery and amp investment. The reason I go so overkill on electrical is that I don't want to damage $4,000 in amps. Do you understand that? It's going to be L-brackets on the front face welded, tapped so I can bolt the baffle onto a smooth flat surface and just use a silicone-based caulk to seal. Each time, I can just unbolt the baffle and sand the caulk off. I can't see the picture you posted. Image is broken. [/QUOTE]
