Re: Stus-List Soliciting Advice on 33-2 Battery Complement

The answer to how the charger evaluates a bad battery was actually included in a quote from the Pro Mariner manual contained in an earlier post. The software in the charger measures the internal resistance of the battery to check for a bad battery and reverse polarity. Too large a battery

Hi Brian, This pitting is not unusual for stainless steel that has spent time in a low oxygen environment. The water in there is stagnate, oxygen depletes, a galvanic cell develops and viola. The process is the pits, so to speak. The remedy is pretty much as you did, clean up the shaft best

I cleaned up the prop shaft. Then took 600 grit sandpaper then 400 grit sandpaper to it. There is some pitting on the shaft that rides in the bearing. Attached is a link to my blog that has a pic. Is this an issue? Do I need to replace the shaft or have these pits filled?

Re: Stus-List Soliciting Advice on 33-2 Battery Complement

No. It won’t work. It will not charge two batteries in a bank either in series or in parallel by spanning across the batteries. It will only work with each leg of the charger attached to a single battery. That is very specifically identified multiple times in the literature. 6V golf cart

Re: Stus-List Welding Aluminum

Years ago, an old timer taught me how to weld aluminum with an oxy-acetelyne torch. It was not that easy. You first used a yellow acetylene only flame to apply a layer of soot to the aluminum. Then you readjusted the flame to normal by adding oxygen. The problem with welding or brazing

Re: Stus-List Soliciting Advice on 33-2 Battery Complement

6v would be fine in series but from what I can tell from the manufacturer's written and verbal guidance, the charger is limited to a certain maximum battery size (group 31)... I assume Amp-hr limit. A group 31 is about 105 AH. So if you are using two 6v @ 105 AH batteries then it seems you would

Re: Stus-List Soliciting Advice on 33-2 Battery Complement

No golf cart 6V would not be ok. Amp-hour rating would be far too high. Plus the charger can’t do 6v and can’t ‘bridge’ across 2 batteries either in series or in parallel. I think the key here is that each leg is limited in what it can handle capacity-wise. So a typical Group 31 12V flooded
