Dave from progressiverc wants to help out ,With my Helifreak cart.

So he has changed my mined about a few things.

One was to keep the gen, charges , power supples all in the back for a more useable space to charge ect ect.

So the chargers will be out back.

Also guys Dave once to do a light kit set up, in sure it sick.

And one more thing guys, those are not the wheels and tires, y'all will like the other ones.

Looks cool, but where are the batteries going to sit when you are charging them from the glove box mounted chargers? On the door? Won't they fall off as you drive? Surely you want to be able to drive around while waiting on your batteries to charge? Maybe you could put some velcro on the door? The batteries all have velcro on them anyway don't they? Gust dig up some large velcro sheets and make the whole inside of the door velcro. I think the convention is soft side on the batteries, so the hard side on the doors?

You totally have to bring it to the HFFF! I'm looking into doing something real similar to my truck because of the one I'm adapting at work. We put in a dual battery setup on it so it'll charge off the same system, but won't pull off the starter battery. Works like a champ so far and it's fairly inexpensive. I'd prefer to leave the generator as a backup because of the noise, but deep cycles get to be a pain because of the weight. Choices, choices....

Capi, you're coming out to So-Cal in October? Hopefully I'll get to meet you in person if so. Always great to get together with the online identity.

We are all talkin about it, we are now talking havin all the chargers build in to the back with the gen, so many ideas, and thoughts.

We are even going threw the gens to keep the gen from kicking off , in a right hand tilt for to long will shut down.
I think I know the safest fix.

Guys everybody speak up. Tell me your thoughts.
I'm open mined to all good ideas.

Thanks for the support guys.
