2005 txt new Trojans won’t travel more than a mille

Tell your camera to take larger format pictures. The ones you've posted are only 373 X 280 pixels. I take maximum size pictures (3648 X 2736 on my compact cameras and quite a bit larger on my DSLR camera) and reduce or crop them to 1900 X 1200 to post them as attachments. That way one click on an attachment will bring up a full screen image and a click on that image will take it to 1900x1200 so small details can be examined by scrolling.

The three attached pictures are 1. full sized, 2. reduced and 3. edited.

Looks like you have a re-labeled DPI Accusense Gen-III charger. Absorption stage in Mode-2 (Trojan) will be about 42.3V, but the cutoff in the finish stage is dV/dT so it will climb higher. Normally goes up to about 46V or more, but with the two low batteries, it may get confused.

Use a 12V charger to get the two low ones up to about the same as the others, so the DPI can work properly.

Also noted some extra wire attached within the battery pack. Is it being tapped for 12V accessories? Doing so kills batteries.

DOH!! That's why bigger pics help. Sorry I missed that.

EDIT: I didn't miss it, I just can't see it.

Thin black wire to + post on center front battery and thin white wire to - post on center rear battery. This effectively taps driver side front and rear batteries for 12V. Not the same batteries as the one with low voltage, but wires have been known to be re-positioned.

Also, what id the black object on top of the F/R switch cover?

HAH! Missed that too. I typically ignore pics that aren't attached - too big - or are too small. I'll bet his batteries can be "fixed" by eliminating whatever parasitic load is on them. Should have been obvious when two weak batteries are next to each other, and first or last in line.

Good catch.

That is a speaker/horn on top of the cover. The previous owner installed it. It plays different siren/animal noises also works as a pa. There is also a stereo mounted to roof above the steering wheel. We never use the stereo. As far as the pictures I’m using my iPhone to take the pictures. I don’t think I have an option to change size. I do most everything from my phone. I put a 12v charger on the two weak battery’s for several hours. They only got up to 6.05 v. Something else I remembered is when I replaced the old batteries there were 2 of them that were a different brand. They were in the same location as weak batteries I have now. Those two old ones were also weak when I had them all replaced.

Let me know if those last two pictures were any better. I used a different app to post them.

Much better size, but use the "attach" paperclip.

As dead as those deep cycle batteries are, it may take 8 - 12 hours. 2 just isn't enough. Those batteries are seeing a real drain on them, to the point they have been dragged down in just a few short months. I'd remove any wires not needed for running and charge the crap out of the two abused batteries.

From the looks of things, You have either two or three 12 volt circuits.

There is a circuit for the stereo, the siren, and the light kit. Do those have to be wired in a certain way so that it doesn’t drain those two batteries?

Also none of those are on except @ night we run the lights.
