8 T-105s Under The Seat Question

yurtle · 11-12-2011, 10:15 AM

Yesterday, I traded in my six, 9 year old Exides for eight, T-105s, to go along with my new AXE 4855, and other goodies from ScottyB.

I want to locate all eight under the seat, like ScottyB did in post #60 of this thread:

I've been planning this for years, but have only seen a limited number of photos on how to install the two additional batteries. Does anyone have any photos or details they could share on how they fabricated a base and hold downs?

I plan on moving my controller and solenoid over my motor, and moving my FNR forward.

1998 TXT Series.

thanks

If that's the case you will have room in both the driver side and passenger side compartments to install the additional 2 batteries! As far as hold downs go, the 6 in the middle will use the standard hold downs, the 2 added ones you can either use a battery strap, or the universal ones from and auto parts store

I put my controller and reversing relay above the motor also and will welding in a couple brackets on either side.

I used some angle iron and a welder to make the battery trays in post#60 . What are going to use for an F&R? Reversing contactor? I used a conventional HD F&R but I seriously modified the Pivot shaft..... shortening it and lengthening the linkage. More work than it was worth probably for a one off mod.... I just wanted to see if I could do what the engineers at western avoided.

I have a welder, but hoped to avoid using it. I planned on shortening my FNR bolt, like you did, but also will (try to) reverse the bottom "pan" on the passenger side (where the FNR is bolted to). The battery is quite happy on the driver's side, but the "pan" on the passenger side is "reversed", which I'll "fix" this morning.

You gave me the most ideas in the following photos:

I'll post photos when I'm closer. I'm slow, but steady.

I'm prolly gonna end up sacrificing these double sided heat sinks for my 4855. I'll chop off half of them, surface them, then use heat sink grease to allow good heat transfer.

I plan to mount the 4855 "upside down", but that may change.

Thanks! I didn't even think about Autozone. I was just going to use some angle I had lying around, but found this:

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...entifier=95989

It's a perfect fit for my two T-105 pluses, which have three separate fill caps, vs. the other six T-105s, which have the one piece caps.

How did you modify your pivot shaft? It looks like you cut, then lathed it down, then threaded it. I was thinking about cutting mine down, line boring, and tapping mine.

scottyb · 11-13-2011, 04:03 PM

I cut a length of the middle out of it .... and welded the 2 pcs back together.

A nuisance project but it works.

Great

Glad it has worked out for you.............................
