CC DS 4-12v to 6-8v conversion
Here is an overview of a decent (in my opinion) DS 4-12v to 6-8v conversion with adequate hold-downs, and no cheezy lumber or other bs.
Materials needed- - 4 of your original hold down rods for reuse - 2 of your original plastic hold downs for reuse - 4 standard DS 8v hold down rods w/ nuts and washers (i used yamaha G22e rods, i had them on hand) - 2 DS 8v plastic hold downs - 2x 15" lenghts of (2"x2"x1/8" aluminum angle) - 4x 13.5" lenghts of (2"x2"x1/8" aluminum angle) I used a chopsaw with 1/8" kerf, so my angle may have been slightly shorter. Angle aluminum was available at local hardware store. - 12x 1/8" pop rivets - 6x 8v batteries of your preference. - your original cables for reuse (or new cables for 12v DS) - will also need 2 additional cables (marked red) Tools Needed- - air hammer with chisel far easier, or hammer & chisel - chopsaw or hacksaw for cutting aluminum angle - rivet gun for installing rivets - 13/64" or 1/8" drill bit for rivet holes - drill bit for hold down rod holes, not fussy, just bigger than hold down rods - drill - cable & ends for 2 new cables Steps- - remove 12v batts and extensive cleaning - (air hammer chisel) remove 4x spacer brackets (circled green) - (air hammer chisel) remove 2x support brackets (circled blue) - use 13/64" bit for rivet holes on next 2 steps - install 2x each outer battery bay, 13.5" support brackets with 7.5" spacing inside to allow 1 battery to rest inside. - install 2x center battery bay 15" support brackets with roughly 10.5" spacing from center bracket to allow 2 batts to rest on each side of center bracket. - set a battery in tray, mark locations for new hold down rods holes on center brace and new (15") brackets. - remove battery, drill new holes for hold down rods. -Install batteries, hold down rods, and cables. I configured the batteries this way for my convienince in cable routing (i had to cut out a corroded portion of main positive cable). You may configure your batts however you like. The 4x 12v ds has no voltage reducer, i used a simple method of automotive resistor wire to reduce voltage, a dc/dc reducer would have been nicer, but i didnt have one. |
