For my fellow Gen 2 Chevy Colorado Owners I wanted to share a low cost alternative to installing a dual battery system. Because the Colorado comes in both a diesel and a gas model, and GM likes to use the same parts as often as possible; the battery tray in the gas model is large enough to...

I'm looking at a dual battery setup from Off Grid 4x4 and they recommend the Full Throttle Group 35 or "any other high quality group 35 AGM battery". I had to buy a new battery from Advance Auto a few weeks ago since mine died and wanted to see if anyone knew if I could use just another one of...

Lately, due to our current situation, I have been driving less. The Jeep comes out about every two weeks or so. In order to keep the battery conditioned, I installed a modular solar system. What methods do you use to extend the life of your battery? Solar, battery tender, Solar battery tender...

Just wanted to share some information on the new Goal Zero Yetis. I'm a new convert to fridges from rotomolded coolers. Got a new Dometic CFX3 55im, and thought that's all I needed in a 4Runner for extended road trips. Then I learned about OEM vs. deep cycle vs. dual battery setup vs...

I'd like to add 'house' batteries (add'l deep cycles to power accessories while the engine is off) and an isolator to my '08 GMC diesel van, which has two starting batteries; one under the hood and one underneath along the driver's side frame rail. The house batteries will be charged by the...

Charging batteries connected in parallel. Ever wondered why a bank of batteries connected in parallel seem to fail sooner than expected? Most of us connect a bank of batteries together in parallel, which is, electrically, the correct way to increase capacity at a given voltage (in most of our...

Last night I finally bit the bullet and bought a Whynter 62qt dual zone. It was the right price and size for me as my first fridge. I'm currently driving a car with a single starter battery. Next weekend I'm driving for 2 days to visit family and I'm trying to figure out how to keep the fridge...
