  1. Unknown drain on battery….

    The shitbox 2010 Charger I drive to work is randomly discharging the battery. Sometimes it’ll sit all weekend and I’ll get in it on Monday and it’ll start up just fine, and off we go. Other times, I’ll shut it off at 7:00a and it’ll be dead when I try to start it at lunchtime at 12:00. I’ve...

  7. Is a clean battery wiring setup possible?

    When you’ve got 5 things running to the positive and battery terminals is it possible to have it not look like a disaster? Even with military style terminals mine look like I started wiring yesterday. Do you mount a terminal strip discretely and just one fat cable to the battery like these...
