Re: Recommendations for Starting Battery
|
I notice that MightyMax's AGM motorcycle batteries likely have more than enough CCA to start our 2.2L engines.? ?Maybe I can put one of these in back?for starting.
Or.... I just noticed that we can now purchase a 50AH LiFeP04 for appx $100?that supports 10kW (200A) surges for $50 that's?amazingly small too.? ?Perhaps one such battery would be better than haivng?separate house & start batteres, and it will be warmed up so taht?it can charge if it's in the engine compartment.? ? ?? Close, mine has 4 mounting tab bolt holes, I can get number later.... The adapter plate is the interesting part

My condenser is on the roof and has two fans.? One of my evaporator/heater units is on the ceiling next to the right d. Pillar..? ? The other is inside my dashboard.? ?Each evaporator /heater unit supposedly has a capacity of 1.5 T (18k) has its own TXV. It works ok, but is a bit under sized.? I also have separate heater valves for the front and rear boxes.
I used the standard Subaru compressor.
What else did you do to increase the capacity of the AC to 32K?

There's enough space for the battery and AC lines.?
My AC lines run through there as well since my 32k BTU replacement headbanger AC is fed through the right side to disentangle them from the cabinet.?
You run your heater lines there too?? Where do they go?/what do they feed?

Thanks.? ?I probably will need to put mine on the left side because my condenser, rear refrigerant, and? heater lines run through my d pillar on the right side.? ?In short, my right d pillar is already pretty crowded.
I placed the subie intake box on the left side and need to see how much space remains? Maybe only 8x8x8.? ?That's appx the same size as my agm.?
I still wonder about mounting below the floor, or above the trans axle, with access via the underside.? ?

Check this out... Also came up with a corner eat to tie it down in there .... If you go this direction let me know when you have the battery and I'll send some pics of the tie down

I have a 92 ej22 and the original VW starter in my 81 westy and used to have a 50 AH agm behind the passenger seat.? ?Didn't spin very fast.? ?I moved? the battery to under the back seat (and now store shoes where it used to live).? The original starter now spins with vigor thanks to the shorter electrical connections.? ?Maybe a direct ground wire from the original spot would provide the same effect?
We really want to create more storage.? Beyond exploiting space between the inside and outside walls, I'm now thinking of moving the battery to the underside.? ?The question is where.? ?Thoughts?
