battery

Searched threads but didn't find anything, but if previously posted I'd love a link. Tonight I removed my battery to remove a dead mouse behind it and then I noticed this green wire and this plug. I'm 99% sure I didn't touch them when pulling out a battery and I don't see an obvious spot they go...

Hello there, New to this Delica world and this week the battery got drained (a door was left open for a couple days and the lights where on inside). I can't figure out how to jump start this dual battery system. I have a portable jump started but whenever I connect the black clamp to what I...

So I had my first cold-weather dead battery situation this past weekend. Was about 5 degrees F for a few nights in a row, couldn't power a start on its own, wasn't getting enough juice from a traditional jump-start from my buddy's truck, but cranked/started immediately when the AAA dude showed...

Hi everyone. I'm the proud new owner of a 1993 L300, and just went on my first camping trip with it. I'm a bit naturally paranoid about draining the batteries in cars to the point that they have issues and/or won't start, I guess it's a leftover fear from having parents who were sort of...

This is our second L300 and both have had this problem. When we turn the lights on, the alternator belt starts burning (you can smell it). On the previous L300, the belt then started slipping and was so loose it stopped charging the battery and eventually the lights dim, the car dies, and we are...

Hey all, I'm a new Delica owner and I came across something a little odd yesterday. I've been driving my L300 daily now for the last 2 weeks, and it's been nothing but reliable. Yesterday I got in it after work and started it up, and ever so dim on the dash was the battery and coolant lights. I...

1997 L300 4x4 turbo diesel with a dual battery bank Day 1: Very slow starter motor, sounds a like dying toad. Fully charged battery bank (12.6V). Engine still turned over and I could drive just fine. Multiple engine starts this day, always with same reptilian sound effects. Day 2. Engine won't...

Well a mouse decided it'd make a cozy home right on a battery, then chew up some wires for a bonafide "Have a great day" yesterday. I haven't done a full inventory of what's cooked, but if you have any parts from this general area, I'd be interested.

Hey all, I was driving my 93’ Petrol last night and as I was driving I noticed all of my electric systems slowly getting weaker, first the lights were dimming, then my radio kicked out, then my cigarette lighter lost power. None of my warning lights came on during this time. I got it home...

I am adding a 110 amp hour auxiliary battery in the rear of my delica to power a fridge, fan, etc. I am hoping to charge it off my alternator and 100W of solar. My question is: how many amps do I need to size the cable for from my starter battery to my auxiliary and what fuse is sufficient. From...

I'm adding two auxiliary AGM batteries to my Delica and I figure I should upgrade the alternator so I have some chance of charging them. Does anyone have information on alternator compatibility for a 1989 Exceed? I'd like to avoid an aftermarket Chinese alternator so I'm eyeing some of the...

Hi all, I just replaced my batteries after they went bad (two for the winterized version), and am trying to plan setting up an auxiliary battery for camping. I have an AGM battery, solar panel, charge controller, inverter, and have it set up as an independent system on another vehicle. My...
