Re: Frame mounted battery boxes ( OE for Econoline )
Wow, two 4D batteries seems like a lot of capacity (400ah?). I'm getting by with 100ah at the moment and am considering doubling that, but am really not sure it's worth the work of running wire and the added weight.
What are you planning on running with these?
FWIW, I do have 350w of solar and am not shy of idling the van if I do something that draws big power (running air compressors mostly at this point, the fridge, lights and stereo do fine, though I just bought a microwave). I'll see if the microwave changes things, but so far I don't feel like it's worth it for me.
I do have one of the stock battery boxes sitting in my garage, but at the moment it's more likely to end up on the van with something other than a battery in it.
