Title: 34p Battery problem
Post by: rescue5271 on July 10, 2010, 11:59:21 AM
Naracoorte 34p is having a lot of battery problems is any other brigade having problems with battery going flat after truck has been used?? These 34p come with a calcum type battery and this may be the cause of the problem,if you are running calcum battery you will need to change over to a calcum battery charger....

Have the brigades ever comsidered not using a charger???? we have stopped ussing them for our appliances and have alot less battery problems now,,,, just isolate the truck, and never have a problem starting them

Nice pictures.

Gee it'd be nice if there were a forum for equipment discussions...or something.

Crazy idea.
