So I just bought a PC680 and am wondering about mounting. I know you can mount it on its side and I was going to do that in the original battery tray. Anyone have pictures of what you did? Also needing pictures of different quick disconnects and how you mounted those.
Thanks |

I may be way off on this, but wouldn't disconnecting the ground on a running car still let the car run but just kill its alternator?

QUOTE(jd74914 @ Mar 17 2008, 09:18 PM)  I may be way off on this, but wouldn't disconnecting the ground on a running car still let the car run but just kill its alternator? Maybe that is why they have all the comments in the manuals about not removing the battery while the car is running. But from what I've read, the same would happen by disconnecting the positive side as well. If you are in a situation where the rescue crew needs to shut off power to the car, the engine will probably already be off from the sudden stop, and if not, frying the diodes in the alternator will be the least of your concerns. |
