On-Board Charger

Post by ady »

So Santa got me a nice new Guest 2-bank charger this and I've been reading the mounting instructions - strange I know but I thought I had better do this as power is involved.

The instructions state an 8" clearance all round and not to mount on carpet. well, my Princecraft battery bay is carpeted inside and with 2 big Trojans there's not much room inside. I was thinking of mounting on Aluminum sheat for heat transfer and maybe removing the carpet from the rear of the bay. My battery bay is under the passenger consul. does this sound okay???

Any tips or ideas anyone :?: :?: :?: :?:

Ady,
I'm sure the aluminum sheet would work well for you as a heat sink. I don't think you need to remove the carpet as the sheet of aluminum will dispate the heat very well....Larry
