Then why on earth did you use it to try to justify your own erroneous claim??????????????

Boobook, you can’t answer my question can you, because you haven't got a clue? The alternator in that clip is being used in a manor that was NEVER intended by any alternator or vehicle manufacturer. To “Try to imitate” this operation, and I emphasise “Try to imitate“ this operation, you would...

Once again boobook, as you have just stated, you are the expert, please explain how that operation could be imitated in real life. You claim to be the expert so it should be a simple task for you? I will address the rest of your reply once you give us your explanation!

I take it boobook that you have just limited experience in the field. That is the second video they have produced about the “Burning out an alternator by over loading it” Both videos are out and out con jobs solely engineered to make unsuspecting people think the need something they do not...

First off, you can NOT overload any alternator. By their very design, they are self current limiting and this garbage that you will over load an alternator is just that, garbage. Next, I would not touch a lithium battery that could not tolerate at least a minimum CONTINUOUS charge current of...

Hi phs and you have a Toyota, which does not have a SMART alternator, so yes, you can fit and charge lithium batteries without the need of a DC/DC charger. Most other new vehicles have SMART alternators, and while you can fit lithium batteries, contrary to the sales claims, they will NOT charge...

Hi Albynsw, I have not forgotten you question, I just need some time to write up a full reply.

This does not alter the fact that you cast dispersions about my product with out backing up your claims. Again, you started this and now you can't handle the replies.

Nice try boobook but you were the one casting dispersions about the Traxide isolators and I responded, as is my right. You say you have heard of problems with the Traxide isolators and you reported so. Good on you for doing so, but if you don't like the answers to your claims, thats you problem.

The Isolators are identical in operation in all vehicles, both here and in all the other countries they are supplied to. The DIFFERENCE is the cable kits. Each type of vehicle requires a different cable kit, with all cabling in each specific kit pre-assembled with correct cable lengths to suit...

Did not imply you were their "support centre", it is just strange that as the Traxide isolators come with a 5 year warranty, some thing that has been the case for more than two decades, that so many people supposedly are having problems but not making warranty calls. Very Strange!

Hi cam, we changed over to 80 amp fuses some time back but when you understand how the Traxide isolators work, you can see how they can charge at well over 100 amps, depending on the depth of charge of the batteries and the size of the alternator in the vehicle. The alternator is the ruling...

As pointed out earlier in this thread, why did the owners of these Toyotas withe these supposed problems not contact me to see if there was a fix? And as I posted, no one who has bought one of my kits for a Toyota, any model of Toyota, has ever raised any issues. A number have stated that...

Hi folks and sorry for being late into this thread as I am flat-out, but one of my customers suggested I read it and boobook not sure where you got your info from. While you are correct in that quite a few exLR owners have come across to Toyotas, and some have brought their Traxide isolators...

Hi folks and like many subjects relating to automotive electrics, there are lots of OPINIONS but very little real knowledge about what ever subject is being covered. This one is a perfect example. Most lithiums can be charged directly from an alternator and if it’s the auxiliary battery then...

Hi again trakka090, that sounds like a wiring problem and if this is the case, adding a DC/DC setup could easily make it worse. Do you know what size cabling is used?

Hi trakka090, why are you even considering a DC/DC device? You do not have a “smart“ alternator and you have a smaller alternator. This all means you will recharge your auxiliary battery far quicker, and more efficiently by charging directly ( via a VSR ) from your alternator and this will do...

Just loosen the bolt holding each battery clamp. Slip the terminal of the BM2 onto the pos and neg battery clamps and tighten them up again, job done.

Hi Jingramo, as above, the BM2 Bluetooth Battery Monitor is briliant. I was selling them to my regular customers but they are now so cheap on eBay that I now just refer people to them there. They are about $32 to $35 on eBay and are worth every cent. Because of the way they monitor info and...

Hi Marco and it is actually the industry’s standard practice to connect everything to the house, or auxiliary battery in your case, and you will not have a problem. You can be driving along with the solar and alternator charging your auxiliary battery and then when on a powered site, during the...
