The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
This thread allows us to talk about wiring up high-current DC into the MY14 GC.
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
Most DC-DC chargers should shut-off when the input voltage drops below a certain value. This provides battery isolation and should be sufficient unless you want the threshold voltage to be higher. For the D250S-dual it is:
I did see one site talking about the D250S-dual needing a relay when used with a variable alternator. Might need to do some more research. I don't have my car yet so I have not tested it.
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
Gee, is it all that high tech ? Can't you just wire in a second battery into the wheel space, and then onto the rear 12 v power supply for occasional 24hr use?
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
After reading many threads on the matter I finally put together a 2nd battery system where the battery box can be removed from the car for camping or 240v charging and the cabling can be removed when not being used.
I'd look at isolators and the like, but the Ctek D250S offers full charging of AGM batteries upto 14.6v and can be used with solar panels at camp sites.
I run a 40lt Waeco fridge in the boot, that leaves just enough room for the battery box and Ctek D250S charger to sit in front of it.
There is a Britax RC-1260R 60/80A 12v relay connected to the 12v cigarette socket in front of the gearshift (this is live with ignition - the centre bin is live all the time - I've swapped the fuse to enabled constant 12v for rear cargo). 12v 30A circuit breaker attached to the side of the relay box.
What I didn't understand with this setup was the use of the relay and the diagram provided by Ctek didn't help. Looking at the diagram you're led to believe it switches between solar and alternator, thinking that if you don't have solar you don't need the relay - WRONG. Due to varying output of the Jeep's alternator, you need to use the SOLAR input on the Ctek. This will continue to charge/drain from your source even as your source voltage drops. The relay ensures you're only charging when the car is running...ahhh.
Here are the parts I used
- Repco/SuperCheap large battery box
- Ritar RA12 120SD AGM
- CTek D250S
- Britax RC-1260R relay with connector
- Anderson plugs, cabling, connectors from Jaycar
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
I use one of these ArkPak. Ark Corporation, powers the fridge in the car when travelling then gets transfered to the camper when set up.
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
I installed a Projecta 150A electronic isolator trailer kit. It charges the lithium battery bank in the Kimberley camper trailer in no time without a DC-DC converter and while the fridge is running. The isolator slots in neatly next to the battery in the car.
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
I can't get my isolator to supply power to my caravan battery, and to power my caravan fridge. I know the isolator is working correctly, and suspect the problem lies in the voltage drop in my wiring. The car has 6B&S and the caravan 10mm.
I measured the car supplied voltage at the caravan fridge and is showed 12.08V, which I suspect is so low that the isolator can't sense the caravan battery.
I plan to swap the caravan 10mm wiring for 4B&S cable to see if that fixes the issue.
If that fails, I will probably have to install a DC/DC charger.
I'm pretty sure that you will need a dcdc converter. The variable alternator just can't be guaranteed to provide a high enough voltage. As I understand a standard alternator is only ever designed to keep a battery charged to 70-80% anyway. This is due to the limitations of fixed voltage charging. If they made the charge voltage higher, the battery would overcharge.
Bob has an unusual situation as his kk had lithium batteries. Lithium batteries always need complex electronics to charge, else they tend to explode. These electronics are probably designed to cope with lower voltages in fact they likely already have a dcdc converter built in.
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
Forgot to add, my caravan uses 2 x 110AH Lithiums.
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
Here is a pic of the relay box in place next the battery, showing 30a circuit breaker on top and the activation lead running off to the cigarette lighter socket. All photos here.
If your building your own battery box have a look at this volt amp ah gauge - ebay link
Re: The MY14 2nd Battery and DC Thread
Dunkit, I've been trying to work out where to run the wires from the main battery. Your pics show your wires coming straight out onto the cabin floor. Did you do anything else to run them back please.

Macintosh IIcx
|Release date
|March 7, 1989
|Introductory price
|US$5,369 (equivalent to $10,373 in 2016)
|March 11, 1991
|Operating system
|System 6.0.3–7.1.1(Pro), 7.5–7.5.5
|Motorola 68030 @ 16 MHz
|1 MiB or 2 MiB, expandable to 128 MiB (120 ns 30-pin SIMM)
The Macintosh IIcx was introduced by Apple Computer in 1989, half a year after the introduction of the Macintosh IIx. The IIcx resembled the IIx to a great extent and provided the same performance, but was quieter (due to its quieter fan on a smaller power supply) than its predecessor. Reducing the number of NuBus slots from 6 to 3[1] also made the machine much more compact. The new case, Apple's first to be designed to operate in either a horizontal or vertical orientation, remained in use for its successors the IIci and Quadra 700. The idea for vertical orientation, one of the first minitower cases, was suggested by Apple CEO John Sculley, who was running out of space on his desk,[2] despite the fact that the new layout actually took more space once the monitor was taken into account. The model was designated IIcx for compact (echoing the earlier Apple IIc compact model in the Apple II series), and the x was Apple's designation for the 68030 processor.
Users liked the Mac IIcx, in part, because its components and parts (such as the RAM, NuBus slots, and power supply) snapped into place inside the case without the need for screws. There was one central safety screw that tied the assembly together though it was often not reinstalled if ever removed. At the IIcx's introduction, Jean-Louis Gassee demonstrated the IIcx's modular design by assembling one from parts in front of the audience.[3] This made it less expensive to build, easier to repair, and earned it heavy praise and a warm reception amongst the Mac community.
This model was superseded by the Macintosh IIci, which used the same case.

Mini-Golf Is Bad News
Dear Editor,
Nicholas Briano's informative piece, "City Eyes Mini Golf in Rockaway Beach," came as a huge, unwelcome surprise. The signatories of this letter as well as all of the neighbors spoke with 40+ people and are very concerned about the proposal to build a mini-golf course on the remaining green space bordering Shorefront Parkway between Beach 92 Street and Beach 94 Street. Rockaway beach has very limited green spaces. The proposal states that the course will be open seasonally leaving those of us who live here with an unsightly and unusable entertainment arena for half of the year. It is also slated to be open until 11:00 at night which means floodlights would be required. As we all know, parking is a major problem during the summer months, and the parking will only get worse as the new development on Shorefront Parkway between Beach 91 and Beach 92 Streets is occupied and others are constructed. The Community Board already expressed its displeasure about the construction of the 40-unit condominium because of insufficient parking. Why would the Board permit a development which would only add to our parking woes? The Parks Department already provides the surfers' beach, the skateboard park, handball and basketball courts, openspace for public gatherings, and a snack bar in the area. We do not need additional recreational amenities on this tiny strip. We do need the little green space that is available for walking and sitting with our families and neighbors, public concerts, and space for the yearly surfboard and skateboard contests for youth and others. Apparently, other city parks, such as Flushing Meadows, do have mini-golf courses. However, Flushing Meadows with its expensive acreage is hardly comparable to the narrow strip of green space which residents and visitors alike enjoy in our community. More amenities and human congestion will also impact the birds, such as the brants, that use the green space for feeding during part of the year. We believe there are other areas of our peninsula which could be greatly improved with a mini-golf course and which would actually be welcomed by nearby residents. The Parks Department should preserve the few open spaces available to it. We value this green space and we are deeply offended that the proposal has moved forward with solicitation of bids without any time for public comment. Thanks to The Wave for printing the story, and to my neighbors… it's time to organize and fight against this newest encroachment.

|Struggles aside, Bruins remember Tomas Kaberle fondly
|10.11.11 at 11:40 pm ET
When the Bruins play the Hurricanes Wednesday night in Carolina, they will play against a member of the 2010-11 champions for the first time, and perhaps no one fell victim to the harsh Boston spotlight more Tomas Kaberle.
Kaberle, for whom the Bruins traded former 16th overall pick Joe Colborne, a first-round pick and a second-rounder to the Maple Leafs, came to the Bruins on Feb. 18 of last season with big expectations. The veteran blueliner was popular amongst his teammates, but struggled in his stint with the Bruins, failing to improve a wretched power play, hesitating to shoot and proving to be a liability in his own zone. When his contract expired the Bruins told him to test the waters, and he ended up taking a three-year deal worth $12.75 million with the Hurricanes.
"I don't know if the pressure bothered him. I mean, he played in Toronto, where there's tons of pressure," Dennis Seidenberg said. "He felt like it was the best situation for him to go to Carolina, and he got a good deal, so it's good for him."
Kaberle had averaged upwards of 22 minutes per night in his career with the Maple Leafs, but he saw his ice time with the Bruins cut down significantly as time went on. Things looked their worst in the Eastern Conference finals, when he committed costly turnovers and ended up playing what at the time was a career-low (injuries excluded) of 11:35 in Game 4 against the Lightning. He played better in the Stanley Cup finals, but in Game 7 set a new career-low with 9:14 of ice time.
"It's never good if you see a player that's been so successful in the past to struggle a little bit, but he was really good," Seidenberg said. "He knew how to handle himself, and you would never knew how he was doing on the ice with the way he acted in the locker room with us. He's just a great guy."
Though he will be on the other team Wednesday, Seidenberg admitted Tuesday that the members of last season's historic Bruins team will always remember one another fondly.
"I think even if we didn't win the Cup, Tomas is just a really nice guy, and good to hang out with and a great team guy," Seidenberg said. "Winning the Cup with him definitely makes it a little more special. Down the road, it's going to be nice to exchange stories and talk about."
This season, Kaberle is playing on the Hurricanes' top power play unit. He has no points and is a minus-3 for the Hurricanes, who are 0-2-1 through three games.
|Joe Corvo looks to give power play a shot in the arm
|09.14.11 at 1:26 pm ET
WILMINGTON — In case being traded to the Bruins the day Tomas Kaberle signed with his team wasn't enough of a hint, Joe Corvo is well aware that he's in Boston to fill a role.
'From what I hear, it's some power-play time, some shots on the power play and getting it to guys, just moving the puck, skating the puck, trying to bring a little of the offensive flair to it and making plays with some of the guys on the team, the skill guys," Corvo said Wednesday as he met the Boston media.
Shooting is something on which Corvo prides himself on, and something Kaberle rarely did in his days as a Bruin. It would seem it's simply a difference in philosophy for the two players, as the pretty passes may now be absent with Kaberle gone.
'He looks for the pass, looks to set guys up. If the shot's there, I'm going to take it most of the time," Corvo said. "I think a lot of power-play goals aren't the cute, tic-tac-toe goals. A lot of them are rebound goals. And the more you hit the net and put it on goal, guys are going to be around the net and score.'
Corvo said the day Kaberle signed with the Hurricanes was a strange one, as he had known the Bruins were interested him but that a deal wouldn't be made unless Kaberle signed with Carolina.
'I had heard that it kind of hinged on him signing there, whether they would sign him there or what they were going to do," he said. "But it was obviously a great surprised. I was just happy to kind of be in a market again where everybody's so crazy about hockey and hockey's so important. It'll just be fun to play.'
More to come later on Corvo.
|Will Joe Corvo be able to replace Tomas Kaberle?
|08.26.11 at 1:51 am ET
With captains' practices just two short weeks from commencing, WEEI.com will be looking at the questions facing the defending Stanley Cup champions in the 2011-12 season.
Today's question is whether Joe Corvo will be able to replace Tomas Kaberle on the Bruins' blue line. Corvo isn't nearly as talented, but he's definitely capable of doing what Kaberle did in a so-so stint in Boston. When you look at the fact that Corvo is in the last year of a deal with a $2.25 million cap hit, while Kaberle got a three-year, $12.75 million deal in Carolina, the exchange looks good for the Bruins.
Though it became trendy to give Kaberle a big pat on the back during the Cup finals for his improved play, the fact of the matter is that things had gotten to the point where Kaberle was getting less ice time than he'd ever gotten in his career (he actually played less than 10 minutes in Game 7 of the finals). Not to compare two different players in two different situations, but as a point of reference, Corvo averaged a little under 25 minutes per game last season (Kaberle had 21:15 with the B's), but Corvo is sure to get less than that, assuming he becomes one of the six regular defensemen in Boston.
For the sake of comparison, Kaberle is a little bigger than Corvo, while Corvo is a better skater. (While Kaberle's passing skills were as-advertised, one thing that stood out here with the Czech blueliner was how poor a skater he was). Corvo's 40 points last season tied a career-high, while Kaberle had 47 points in a season that was close to on par with his recent output, but far from the 67 he had in the 2005-06 season.
One player with plenty of perspective on the matter is Dennis Seidenberg. He's played with both defensemen, as he was teammates with Corvo in Carolina in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons. Seidenberg, who occasionally played on a pairing with Corvo (Corvo was usually paired with Tim Gleason, while Seidenberg skated with Joni Pitkanen), gave his new and former teammate a glowing review this week.
'[He's] a very, very good skater,' Seidenberg said of Corvo. 'Good hands, good passer. Very fast. I like playing with him like I did in Carolina. I'm looking forward to it and I think he'll fit in really well.'
But can he replace Kaberle? Seidenberg seems to think so.
'He's an offensive guy and I'm sure he likes to shoot the puck, and that's what we need ' guys getting the puck to the net and creating rebounds,' Seidenberg said. 'I think he's been doing that in the past and I'm sure he's going to do it again.'
The Bruins certainly did their offensive defenseman to shoot the puck, but that was not part of Kaberle's repertoire. It is that area in which the Bruins are in luck. Corvo had 191 shots on goal last season, which would have placed him behind only Zdeno Chara (264) amongst Bruins defensemen. Kaberle had 130 over the course of last season, including 31 shots on goal in 24 regular-season games with the B's.
There's also the fact that Corvo will need to stave off Steven Kampfer, who hasn't gone anywhere. On paper, it would seem that Kampfer could start next season in the role Adam McQuaid filled early last year as the seventh defenseman, but one shouldn't count out Kampfer now that he's healthy. Based on experience, though, it would seem a spot would be Corvo's to lose.
In the end, Corvo can meet, exceed, or fall below expectations when it comes to replacing Kaberle. Ultimately, that could come down to whether people are talking about the pre-Boston Kaberle or the one who underwhelmed in black and gold. If it's the latter, Corvo is certainly capable of doing what Kaberle did for $2 million less this year.
|Report: Financially, Marc Savard better off not retiring
|08.07.11 at 12:50 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli confirmed to the Boston Globe's Fluto Shinzawa what many have figured since Savard was shut down for the season in January: if he retires, he won't get the money due to him over the six years remaining on his contract. That means he's better off coming to camp each year, failing his physical, getting his money, and giving the B's the cap space since he'll be on long-term-injury reserve.
'If Savvy retires, he would not be entitled to the benefits of the contract,'' Chiarelli told Shinzawa.
By coming to camp each year and failing his physicals, Savard would still make the $21.05 million owed to him. The Bruins would be allowed to exceed the salary cap by his cap hit ($4.007 million) each year, as they did last season when they entered the season over the cap and later added defenseman Tomas Kaberle's money with Savard shut down for the season.
Again, this has seemed like the logical route for Savard to take since the season ended. While it may be a bit odd for him to show up each season without having a realistic chance of playing, it would be the smart thing to do financially for Savard and his family. Shinzawa notes that Savard would get the money from insurance, as Alexei Zhamnov did with the B's.
|Tomas Kaberle a true Role Model with Stanley Cup
|07.21.11 at 4:15 pm ET
Stick-tap to our friend Matt Kalman of The Bruins Blog for catching this story about Tomas Kaberle's day with the Stanley Cup yesterday. We posted a couple of videos of Kaberle with the Cup in the Czech Republic yesterday, but nobody could have seen this coming. Check out this photo from isport.cz, which the Globe and Mail picked up:
Here's NHL.com's explanation:
After a brief stop to take some pictures with the Cup, Kaberle just entered Kladno for a stop at Velky Tanecni Sal, which appears to be a Knights of Columbus-type establishment, where hundreds of people are waiting for an opportunity to see their Stanley Cup Champion and local hero.
Upon entering the hall, Kaberle was greeted by a band called The Hello Piggy Band. Kaberle was brought on stage and received a sword and shield. He also presented the Stanley Cup to the crowd and received a real hero's welcome when he hoisted the trophy over his head.
One probably has tons of questions after seeing this, none of which should be bigger than the mystery of why Kaberle didn't invide Joe Lo Truglio and Christopher Mintz-Plasse along.
|Tomas Kaberle brings Stanley Cup to Czech Republic
|07.20.11 at 3:42 pm ET
When David Krejci and his Bruins teammates arrived in the Czech Republic to begin what would end up being a championship season, the best he could offer was taking fellow players out for goulash. As the video below shows, what he and Tomas Kaberle have brought this time is a bit shinier, and contains far less calories.
(On that first video, what is that at 0:35? Did the Winnipeg Jets make a draft pick on this trip?)
The Cup is on its European swing now, with Kaberle up first. Krejci will have his day on Thursday, with captain Zdeno Chara getting two days with the trophy on Friday and Saturday. Tuukka Rask will have it Sunday and Monday before it heads back to North America.
As Bruins PR man Eric Tosi tweeted, the defenseman signed autographs and took pictures with fans for over five hours and didn't stop until all who showed up were accomodated. That's hardly surprising that Kaberle would do such a thing, as his kindness was not on the list of things in question during his time in Boston.
For the list of where the Cup has been and is set to go, click here.
When players begin showing up for captains practices and eventually training camp as the summer winds down and the preseason begins, Andrew Ference, like the other returning players from the Stanley Cup champions, will have a couple of new faces to meet.
Ference will have a new fellow blueliner in defenseman Joe Corvo, for whom the B's traded a fourth-round pick to the Hurricanes the day Tomas Kaberle signed with Carolina. Ference may not know Corvo personally, but he knows they'll have a good ice-breaker for when they meet.
"I know he's got a lot of tattoos, so we'll be able to swap," Ference said with a laugh.
Ference, the team's resident tattoo aficionado, flew his tattoo artist in from Calgary so he and his teammates could commemorate their Stanley Cup championship with ink on breakup day. While many players discussed what types of tattoos they were considering that day, the final tally of players to go through with it was a measly seven, including Ference, Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin. Ference noted that other teammates simply got them on other days, such as Chris Kelly, whom Ference said was set to get his this week.
While a simple google search will show that Seguin and Marchand (the latter of whom rarely wore a shirt in the week that followed the Cup win) got "Stanley Cup Champions Boston Bruins 6-15-11″ on the side of their ribs, Ference went with a very plain black-and-white spoked B on his right arm.
"Some guys got the writing, and I went with the B," Ference said. "I don't know. I left room for more years though."
Ference will also meet Benoit Pouliot, with whom he's already had at least one dealing. It was Ference who sparred with Pouliot in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals after the then-Canadiens forward attempted to hit Johnny Boychuk high on a dangerous play in the corner. Ference isn't concerned about having any difficulty befriending who was once the enemy, citing the team's ability to do it in the past.
"We got along fine with Michael Ryder," Ference pointed out, as Ryder spent his entire career in the Montreal organization before becoming a popular guy in the Bruins' dressing room.
While there are similarities between the two situations of Ryder and Pouliot in that both came to the Bruins after playing for the Habs (Ryder signed a three-year, $12 million deal with the B's back in the summer of 2008), one would generally be far more skeptical of Pouliot today than they were of Ryder in 2008. Ryder was an established scorer in the NHL, while Pouliot, to borrow a bit of logic from Jack Edwards, has been nothing short of a fantastic bust since being drafted fourth overall by the Wild in 2005. For Pouliot to do anything like Ryder on the stat sheet would make the $1.1 million they dropped on the 24-year a sound investment.

Cruising on the highway today, and my Rex would shudder/jerk for a split second every now and then. I was thinking it might be because I was getting low on gas (just above the E mark), but there was no low fuel light (if there even is one). I found the closest gas station, put in some STP fuel cleaner, and filled it up with 11 gallons of 91 octane. It hesitated again on the way home, so I'm hoping it was just some gunk at the bottom of the tank.
Any ideas? Is there a low fuel warning light (it's 2 degrees out, and am too lazy to go check the manual)?
