Message: [QUOTE="GreenMachine, post: 256770, member: 337"] I know the plows can be battery suckers, but batts are new and so is the alternator. The spreader isn't electric, i was going to go electric, and im glad now i didn't. Speaking of the spreader, i've got an idea that i want validated. The Sander uses a 10hp pony motor to run the unit, and usually is run off a self-contained battery on the side. Alot of guys i know delete the battery on the unit because it's unreliable, and they run power straight back from their own batteries. So me being a follower......I ran a circut breaker off my passenger side battery, and from there ran heavy gauge jumper cables back to the sander in my chassis. I used one wire to ground right to the battery, the other i grabbed juice off the circut breaker. I then used a tow truck set of jumper plugs, one on the sander and one on the truck side wiring. Works great, never has a dead battery, so the sander always starts. Now that i have that explained, my theory: The pony motor has a alternator built in to charge its self contained battery right? well even though i deleted the battery, its still pumping juice. SO..............Yesterday i popped the breaker and started the sander, while it was running i voltage tested the cable, and the unit was backfeeding my power cable with 6.5-7 volts. Is this an issue? Could i have overcharged the system and fried the IDM? Just a thought. School me oh knowledgable guru's. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
