TonyH Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi Gordon & Chris,Im assuming you have a 200 series.There has been a fair bit of discussion on www.lcool.org (200 sereis section) about these diodes.They have been available for some time now.I have ummed & arrhed about purchasing one for my 200, they boost the alternator output by only .5 volt!I have an Engel hard wired in the back of my 200 that runs 24/7 & I can leave it it without starting for upto three days... (not, that is NOT the maximum length of time you can leave it ....its how long I have left it before giving the truck a run to top up the batteries.For what Im doing & my situation, I can live without a booster diode....... just my two bobs worth PS still running original battery setup with no modifications.... other than std accessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
