mowingy - 16 May 2007 10:47 GMT Good morning, Just purchased a small used popup camper to pull behind my 02 Dakota V6. The Dak does not have a trailer tow package or HD alternator. The popup has a 12V battery for interior lights etc. Is it a problem to charge this battery by hooking up a wire from the + battery terminal in the Dak or will this possibly overload the alternator? TIA for any advice.

TIA for any advice. There is no cause for concern here at all with alternator. I would suggest that you supply 12 volts to trailer that is switched on when vehicle is running so that you do not run down vehicle battery when it is plugged in and vehicle is off and camper it used a lot. That or make sure to unplug trailer feed when using 12 volts a lot in it. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com

Yup, just look at the newsgroup. Specifically look at my thread from yesterday titles OT: Blow out. Feel free to read the info that Snotard is spewing in there.

Most trolls > like this do not even use real email ID's either because they cannot > stand for anything but BS. Really, what about you, when has anyone ever addressed you by your real name? Never as I recall, why because no one in here knows it because you don't use it. Contrary to your other statement, most in here do use a real and valid email address, though it is jumbled to prevernt idiots like you from spamming them. Might hypocritical of you to flame some one else for the exact same thing you do.

TIA for any advice. It depends. The stock alternator is a quality piece. It will last for a long time. 100K miles and 10 years is not uncommon. But the stock alternator is designed to handle the electrical load of the truck as supplied from the factory, and that's about it. If you've added some heavy duty electrical components to your truck (lights, stereo), it may be close to overloaded now. Adding a deep cycle battery with a heavy discharge could create a problem. Especially at night. Imagine this scenario. You've been camping all week end. The trailer battery is quite low. Now it's dark and time to go home. Hook up the trailer, turn on the lights, and drive away. Your stock alternator is trying to charge both batteries, and run all the lights. I would go to the bone yard and find an alternator from a truck with a tow package.

TIA for any advice. I do not believe that you would have a problem with this, as long as the factory alt is not bad to begin with. Personally, I would opt for the high output (HD) alt as it would only serve you well to prevent any possible issues down the road.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > the high output (HD) alt as it would only serve you well to prevent > any possible issues down the road. No problem with the alternator, however: You need to isolate the trailer battery while the truck is cranking. Otherwise the trailer battery will try to help feed the starter. You can use a relay connected to the radio feed, the radio goes off when cranking. Or, connect the trailer battery through a switch and try to remember to flip the switch when you need to charge the trailer battery AND when you shut the truck off.
I'd go with a relay. Use heavy wire to connect the two batteries, and make sure the trailer has a ground wire to the truck. Don't trust the ball as a ground path.
If you need help wiring the relay, send me an email.

> If you need help wiring the relay, send me an email. The cranking relay won't isolate the two batteries while parked though. The danger there is being stuck at camp with two dead batteries.
Two batteries in parallel isn't the best setup either. The weaker battery will draw the stronger one down to its level. This may not matter much with a popup camping trailer that sees only occasional use, but is a poor design when two or more batteries are always tied together.

Now, if we were talking about a motorcycle with a bitty battery, then yes, I'd isolate a big car battery from the starter motor.

There were several points worthy of further discussion, where did everything go???
My first answer to Big Al wasn't "profound" enough for you. Why don't you elaborate on it a bit?
You probably, no, *definitely*, should comment on my assertion that connecting a 12V car battery to a 12V motorcycle might not be a good idea. Do you agree, or disagree, or have any thoughts at all? Tell us!
How about the parallel battery setup that I called a poor design, Dodge does that don't they? I haven't seen Dodge's dual battery setup personally, but I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned here. And I don't recall ever seeing any negative comments about it. If it's as I think it is, then I just called it LOUSY, and nobody wants to comment? What do you think about it, Skippy?

That damn car was fantastic on the drive both way's. It let's you move through traffic and change lanes instantly. Gotta love all the HP and instant response. A very comfortable car. Only problem with it is the crap in the cooling. Mike was going to look into it from his end. Oh, I warped a set of rotor's as well. Had to hit them hard at about 80mph a few times then I started to get the shimmy at high speed applications. But there is a tsb out on them. I guess they replace them with the slotted rotor's used on the 07's

At 75-90+ it will drop to 17.5 I've never had less on the highway, remember it does not have the cyl cut out or whatever ya call it. What's nice is at those speeds it stops as fast as it goes. Those Brembo's are a good piece.

That isn't bad for that kind of performance. My old big-block Camaro would get 14 on the highway if I kept it below 50. But it'd outrun your pos any day.. <VBG> Notice I didn't say out-stop or out-handle...

Having to do with driver, weather, elevation and so on. Top speed some have posted pic's and vid's of 165mph Not too shabby for a 4 door.Doubtful your Camaro could turn that. I know that the 69 I had could but it was far from stock. Glass nose, and stuff like that. Not a registered street car. Actually it was a cheater, was a 427. No way would it get to 165MPH with the rear gears.

I think I already said that. I'm sorry in all the years I have been working on cars, to including the creation and installation of competition stereo systmes, I have NEVER heard of a wire a "heavy" There are gauges, from 00 to 1/0, to 22. So, what is it? Hell, tell me this, what size is the cabling in a set of jumper cables?

Hell, tell me this, what size is the cabling in > a set of jumper cables? When I set up my '77 D200 for my 'Superwench' S3500, I used 1/0 welding cable to feed the 175A disconnects at the front & rear. I didn't *need* to go that large but, the wire wasn't too expensive (at the time), and it's what the pins for the connectors would fit. At the same time, I installed dual Interstate Group 27 "Workaholic" batteries, with a solenoid between them. The solenoid is energized from the Accessory feed (de-energized during cranking).

Apparently you don't understand the function of the relay in this circuit or how it works. When the truck is parked and the ignition is switched off, the batteries are isolated from each other preventing the vehicle battery from being discharged from electrical usage in the trailer. i.e., the relay is not energized, there is no direct positive cable connection between the two batteries.

The only time the two batteries are connected together is when the tow vehicle's engine is running via the now energized isolation relay, if the engine is running, the circuit voltage to both batteries is higher that the static open circuit voltage of the batteries, the batteries are now being charged, there is no "weaker" battery. Differences in internal resistance between the two batteries will cause the battery with lower resistance to draw more current, but that is the only difference.

"You need to isolate the trailer battery while the truck is cranking. Otherwise the trailer battery will try to help feed the starter. You can use a relay connected to the radio feed, the radio goes off when cranking." - Big Al
"When the truck is parked and the ignition is switched off, the batteries are isolated from each other preventing the vehicle battery from being discharged from electrical usage in the trailer. i.e., the relay is not energized, there is no direct positive cable connection between the two batteries." - Neil
Is the ignition switched off when cranking? Um, no, better not be. So then, you have the batteries connected while cranking, and Al has them isolated at the same time. Are you both talking about the same circuit?
You claimed that in "this circuit" the only time they are tied together is when the engine is running. But Al has them tied together whenever the radio will play. Is that the same thing?

Neil Nelson - 21 May 2007 05:56 GMT > We can argue if you like, Neil, but I might end up naming you Nell. Then > you'd get upset. Is that what you want Beryl?
I offered an explanation as to why your deductions were in error.
Apparently, it upsets you that you were wrong and that I know more about the subject than you.
I'll make it real simple. (assume you have at least seven fingers and/or toes left) There are seven output circuits from the ignition switch on a 2002 Dodge Dakota; Circuit #2 is hot in the run and start position. Circuit #3 is hot in the run and start position Circuit #7 is hot in the run position only Circuit #8 is hot in the run position only Circuit #9 is hot in the run position and the accessory position Circuit #10 is hot in the run position and the accessory position Circuit #13 is hot in the start position only
From the above factory information, it is easy to see that it is possible to tap into two of these circuits to trigger an auxiliary battery isolation relay so that the relay would -only- be energized when the ignition switch is in the engine running position, the relay would -not- be energized during engine crank and the relay would not be energized if the ignition switch were in the accessory position.
If I were wiring this relay for a customer, I would not wire it as Big Al suggested, not because his way wouldn't work but because his way leaves an error mode that the customer may not realize resulting in a drained vehicle battery. IOWs, because of certain people who can't fathom how a battery isolation circuit works, things have to be made as idiot proof as possible.
Now, feel free to call me any name that you choose; Nell, Nellybell, Bob and Neil, Aardvark, punkin, sweetcheeks, hermaphrodite, etc. because after all, there is nothing wrong with one more confirmation from you of what type of person you really are. FYI, if there was even the slightest chance that anything you say could "upset" me, why would I bother explaining your error to you?
Or say thank you for giving you a bit of free education.

Exactly as I said, NELL, "You don't really care about what Big Al said, so you'll just ramble on about your circuit instead."

A better question, NELL: why were, and are, you intent on ignoring what Al was describing, and instead explaining your truely bitchin' and amazing "this circuit" instead?

Neil Nelson - 21 May 2007 14:06 GMT > A better question, NELL: why were, and are, you intent on ignoring what > Al was describing, and instead explaining your truely bitchin' and > amazing "this circuit" instead? Because your original ignorant belief was that the way Big Al had connected the isolation relay would only provide battery isolation during cranking. You claimed;
> The cranking relay won't isolate the two batteries while parked though. > The danger there is being stuck at camp with two dead batteries. Aside from older Volkswagens, do you know of any vehicles where the radio is allowed to be powered when the ignition is switched off which is the typical state when a vehicle is parked? That certainly isn't the way an 02 Dakota is wired.
So, to answer your question bberryll; Because you just couldn't think your way thru the obvious there bberryll. Big Al's way would isolate the batteries contrary to your erroneous conclusion. You *might* have been correct if you had qualified your claim with 'parked and listing to the tow vehicle's radio.' But you didn't, which makes you not all that clever. Simply put; (why do I keep having to do this for you?) you were more wrong than Big Al was.
> > Or say thank you for giving you a bit of free education. > > That was dazzling, NELL. Given your lack of critical thinking skills, plus your non existent electrical skills, I'm sure it was.

I realize that the high schools now days don't really teach much past what is in actuality the sixth grade level, so, on behalf of Big Al, myself and the rest of the group, please accept my (our) apologies that this went so f.cking far over your pointy little head.

Your inability to think beyond an ignition switch is the cause of your error. If there's no suitably switched power source for a relay trigger in there, or anywhere else on a vehicle for that matter, I guess you're just stuck.
Here's a trick, NELL: Grab your prototyping breadboard and a handful of transistors and build your very own logic sub-circuit entirely from scratch. You can have a circuit that functions exactly the way you'd like it to, regardless of what relay inputs already are, or are not, available in the stock vehicle. You won't even be limited to calling battery "A" the vehicle battery and battery "B" the house battery. Either, or both, can serve either purpose at any time, and even change roles on-the-fly as necessary. It's magic!

He asked whether the alternator could handle the extra load, then Al suggested an isolation relay with a rather left hand description of what it would do for mowingly, you then stuck your foot in your mouth claiming that the relay wouldn't isolate the two batteries when parked. =========== (exact quote from beryl) "The cranking relay won't isolate the two batteries while parked though.

I just went back to check the dates between my reply to AL and the time you asked about any advantage of one way over the other, and I found this...
"The only time the two batteries are connected together is when the tow vehicle's engine is running via the now energized isolation relay,"
-and-
"the only time they are tied together is when the engine is running and they are being charged."
That was YOU, stupid a.s idiot! You wrote that 2 days after my reply to AL, then it was another day before you finally figured out that simply turning the key to Acc. would connect the batteries!
> instead of babbling on about According to you, there is no circuit. > and "now You're still lying about that, NELL? I always maintained that there are many circuits, not just "this circuit."

This "three more days" bullshit is off by about 30+ years. There should be plenty of posts authored by me archived in Google regarding battery isolators where I recommend using a relay to isolate auxiliary batteries. I generally recommend a NAPA ST-85 relay because I know it's up to the task. The last time it came up was within the last year, the OP opted for a different part number relay because he didn't like the price of the ST-85.
Google further, (like back 11 years) you'll find where I describe how to install an external voltage regulator on ChryCo vehicles to bypass a non functioning PCM style voltage regulator, saving having to replace an expensive PCM.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news Sheryl, but I'm extremely good at automotive electrical. Your accusations are laughable at best.

As for you calling people a "liar," that tactic is getting pretty old. Seems you trot it out whenever you're backed into a corner. let it be known from now on that any time Sheryl calls someone a lair, she's only trying to cover for her own inadequacies.
It's obvious that your original reply to Al excluded the consideration that the relay isolated the batteries when the key was switched off. Why else would you state "The cranking relay won't isolate the two batteries while parked though. The danger there is being stuck at camp with two dead batteries."
Those are YOUR words between the quotation marks, proof positive that you didn't have a clue.
Then you tried to cover with the "CD music over dinner" bullshit,more proof that you didn't have a clue.
Look sh.t stick, this very basic electrical. Even Snotard can understand it. Proof being, he hasn't said a word to support you because he knows I'm right, and it's no secret that he'd jump at any chance to contradict me. The one guy, they guy you rode in on your white horse to save hasn't said one word in your defense.
You two have to be related. You share two characteristics; 1) You can't admit when you're in error. 2) You come in here pretending to be something you're not.
Now show me how smart you are. Describe how Al's relay connected to an accessory feed has an advantage over my relay connected to an ignition feed.
Or; post another red herring. Since you haven't done the one and have done plenty of the other, odds are you're going to look stupid either way.

Al says connect the relay to the radio.
I say that won't isolate the batteries while parked.
NELL says "The only time the two batteries are connected together is when the tow vehicle's engine is running via the now energized isolation relay," -and- "the only time they are tied together is when the engine is running and they are being charged."
And it was all the same circuit to you, "this circuit", even though I'd been telling you that Al's was different than yours. What an idiot.

Nice try, you lie. Radio won't play with the key off is one thing, "The cranking relay won't isolate the two batteries while parked though. The danger there is being stuck at camp with two dead batteries" is another thing. The more you claim such nonsense, the stupider you look.

What an idiot. Indeed, only an idiot would declare; "The cranking relay won't isolate the two batteries while parked though.

Okay, how does one cause such an occurrence to happen?
Well, if you leave the radio playing, both batteries will go dead, sez Sheryl.
Yup, if you wire it the way Big Al describes, the batteries will go dead.
Then again, even with no trailer, no isolation relay, no campground at Brokeback Mountain...
If you leave the radio playing, the battery goes dead anyway ya moron.
You're out in the wilderness, don't waste the battery!

Big Al, 5/16 "You need to isolate the trailer battery while the truck is cranking... You can use a relay connected to the radio feed"
Beryl, 5/17 "The cranking relay won't isolate the two batteries while parked though."
NELL, 5/19 "Apparently you don't understand the function of the relay in this circuit or how it works." "the only time they are tied together is when the engine is running and they are being charged."
I can hardly begin to sort out your 'contexts' and put them in readable form here, NELL, they're a mess. But you were still thinking "this circuit". As you wrote, "the function of the relay in this circuit".
It wasn't until after I said Al's CD entertainment will allow the trailer lights to drain the truck battery that you decided "I would not wire it as Big Al suggested, not because his way wouldn't work but because his way leaves an error mode that the customer may not realize resulting in a drained vehicle battery." Sort of late for you to come up with that, NELL.
> Nice try, you lie. Radio won't play with the key off is one thing, > "The cranking relay won't isolate the two batteries while parked > though. The danger there is being stuck at camp with two dead > batteries" is another thing. My thing was leaving out details until asked for them, which indicates that I didn't provide details until asked.

You've had a few days now Sheryl and you *still* haven't offered up the one situation where Big Al's method of wiring the relay primary to an accessory feed offers an advantage to my way of wiring the relay primary to an ignition feed.

Yeah, too bad those "details" weren't included in your original s reply to me, which can only mean that they didn't exist until you thought them up in another demonstration of the back pedaling, breast feeding, mud slinging, lying Sheryl.
> Your thing? Yours was providing *wrong* details, I didn't provide any wrong details Sheryl, hell, I even gave the pin outs of the ignition switch for the truck in question. The fact that YOU chose to dismiss it in your antagonistic style is again, NOT MY FAULT.
> NELL, and mixing them > up at the wrong times, without being asked. You messed up. I didn't mess up. You messed up by not thinking the solution all the way through. You also messed up by claiming that if someone had wanted to listen to music while the truck and trailer were connected, both batteries would be drained. there are a number of different scenarios where this wouldn't happen, like; a) Disconnect the trailer connection if you're worried about the trailer battery. b) Listen to the music on a portable CD player. c) Let the body computer keep the radio-CD player alive, which can be done on most ChryCo (and other) vehicles even if the ignition key is in your pocket. d) make sure it's wired the way I would and have done it so that the relay isn't powered when the ignition switch is in the accessory position. e) Don't play the f.cking car radio, you need to be able to depend on the truck battery when the Lions and Tigers come looking to eat your sissy a.s.

Depends on where the music is being played from. If a dumb sh.t mechanic like me can manage to have acquired the second CD player to ever enter the United States, surely a stable hand such as yourself can afford a $19 CD player at Walmart and a couple of "D" cells. Naturally, if you're too stupid to realize that running your vehicle battery dead in the wilderness is a dumb thing to do, again, it's NOT MY FAULT.

> CD music over dinner at the campsite, that's "parked", NELL! So, if I go to a parking lot, all I'm going to see is people listening to music over dinner? Or might I more likely find vehicles with no one in them, secured, locked up, no lights, radio, wipers or heater running? Is this why the airport offers free booster service, because instead of leaving their cars, all these people are really not getting on planes going to conduct business or on vacation, they're really all just sitting in their cars listening to music and eating dinner? Wouldn't they have been more comfortable at home?

Interesting. I'm not "endorsing" anything. I'm mocking you you ignorant ditz. I've asked you a number of times if you can figure out how his way has an advantage over mine. That's not an endorsement either, it's just weighing the pros and cons.

Do you get a deduction on your taxes for being retarded? Where in the above did I mention a trailer or trailer lights? (this bears a striking resemblance to Sheryl's reply to Larry about his tire blow out IOWs, a major failure to comprehend the most basic simplest sh.t) Think a little here Sheryl, a radio WILL drain a battery all by itself without the help of a trailer, without a trailer connected, without a trailer within 100 miles of the vehicle, without the vehicle owner having access or even knowing someone who owns a trailer. You miss the simplest sh.t, probably because you're so upset with yourself for stepping on your clitoris to begin with, probably because your diversions, red herrings and strawman arguments aren't working, probably because you're breast feeding, probably because you feel inferior, probably because you have low self esteem, probably because you sleep in a barn, probably because you can't afford $19 for little itty bitty boom box, probably because you shovel sh.t for farm hand wages, probably because uneducated illegals are in line for your job, probably because you keep hitting your head against the wall but you're still not getting any smarter.

How about the parallel battery setup that I called a poor design, Dodge does that don't they? I haven't seen Dodge's dual battery setup personally, but I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned here.

Do you agree, or disagree, or have any thoughts at all? Tell us! I routinely use a 12 volt motorcycle battery as a back up power supply when replacing batteries on vehicles where there is a risk of locking out a radio, erasing seat/mirror/steering column/radio memory settings, on Mercedes-Benz vehicles which have a chronic pattern failure where the front and rear body computers (SAMS) will not re-boot after a power down. I've been using the same motorcycle battery for quite a few years with no ill effect to the motorcycle battery, *any* vehicle battery, *any* charging system. Most trailer break away devices are nothing more than a wet cell motorcycle battery which is connected in parallel to the tow vehicles 12 volt supply system. Draw your own conclusions.
> How about the parallel battery setup that I called a poor design, Dodge > does that don't they? It's the standard set up on their diesel engined (Ram) trucks.

Well bberryll, I think (actually, I know) that GM, Ford and a host of other manufacturers use that exact same parallel battery set up on many of their diesel engined products, and have for quite a few years. Every Hybrid vehicle I've been trained on so far uses multiple battery cell packs connected in parallel. I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, but if you know of a better way to supply the necessary amperage needed to start a diesel engine, if you know of a better way to supply the needed starting *and* pre-heater/glow plug amperage demands in a better fashion, do tell us, won't you? As it stands now, two batteries in parallel is the most cost effective method to achieve the needed energy density.
I anxiously await your self aggrandized reply...

They're electrically connected, but chemically separated.
Voltage across like terminals will equalize, it has to, with the same +12 volts at every + terminal, or same -12V at every - terminal, whichever way you want to look at it.
A failing battery, one that won't hold its charge, will continually drain power from a healthier battery as the 12V present at its terminal tries to recharge the failing chemistry inside.
No problem if all batteries are equally healthy... or equally unhealthy. The greater the mismatch, the quicker the weaker ones take the others down with them. However many there are, doesn't have to be two, they'll all eventually end up at the level of the weakest one out of the bunch.

The notion that more electrical power can be gotten from two 6 volt batteries compared to two 12 volt batteries -is- news to me.
Let me ask you something;
If one cell in your two 6 volt in series battery invention goes open circuit, will the vehicle 4 way flashers work?

Hold on, NELL, did anybody say anything about more electrical power? There isn't more, NELL, why did you think so?
There are still twelve cells, still the same size, same volts, same amps, same power. But now each "cell" is blissfully and chemically together with itself as one, in the same case, instead of being divided into pieces. Now not only the electrons, but also the +ions, can be happy. :)

It's clear, NELL, you never learned a whole lot about electricity. This conversation about simple batteries tells me that.

Because In article <1355e3919srlgf2@corp.supernews.com>, "How about two 6 volt batteries in series, rather than two 12 volt batteries in parallel, NELL? That way Dodge, GM, Ford, and a host of manufacturers can deliver the needed ampacity without the parallel design problem. Golf Cart batteries, NELL."
I know you're going to claim that means something entirely different than what it says, but last time I checked, volts X amps equals watts and watts is the standard measure of electrical power.

All your two 6 volt batteries in series equals is a 12 volt battery. I'm no golf cart expert but every 6 volt golf cart battery I've been able to view consists of 3 wet cells in individual compartments. So where this "chemically together" crap comes from in an individual battery much less two connected by a cable is anyones guess. Not surprising being it comes from someone who's best description of a wire gauge is "heavy."
> > Let me ask you something; > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Without clever design, no way! And they're of great importance with a > disabled vehicle. So let me ask you, can you imagine a solution? I don't need to imagine a solution. As for clever design, what's this now, adding another red herring to the fray? Your original claim said two 6 volt golf cart batteries in series beats two 12 volt batteries in parallel, now it needs clever design. What next, it will all work as long as you carry a case of road flares? Going to rub some nylon on a piece of amber?

You're a moron, you've proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

>>> Yup. The notion that more electrical power can be gotten from >>> two 6 volt batteries compared to two 12 volt batteries -is- news [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Golf Cart batteries, NELL." I never said "more electrical power" came from the series connection. You asked about "a better way to supply the necessary amperage needed", NELL, "more electrical power" wasn't what we were talking about.
> I know you're going to claim that means something entirely different > than what it says, It means what it says, NELL.
Put two 6V batteries end to end, + to -, and that's a 12v battery, NELL.
Put two 12V batteries side by side, + to + and - to -, and that's also a 12V battery.
The difference?
End to end is terminated at each end! It's an open circuit.
But side by side is a loop, NELL, current can flow. When the two aren't perfectly matched, and they aren't, some current *will* flow. That's why the stronger battery becomes a charger for the weaker battery, and it goes on, and on, and on... But with any luck, it's a tiny trickle charge that you'll never notice.
Are you starting to get it now, NELL?
You don't know anything about parallel and series battery connections, and you're allegedly some electrical expert. This is amazing.
> but last time I checked, volts X amps equals watts and watts is the > standard measure of electrical power. No kidding! Why are you checking irrelevant stuff, NELL?
>> There are still twelve cells, still the same size, same volts, same >> amps, same power. But now each "cell" is blissfully and chemically [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Chemically together? + ions? Never heard of them? I guess Huckleberry's Car Skool didn't start you out with "Theory of Electricity" or anything like that, you just went straight to tools and how to read flowcharts.
> All your two 6 volt batteries in series equals is a 12 volt battery. No kidding!
> I'm no golf cart expert but every 6 volt golf cart battery I've been > able to view consists of 3 wet cells in individual compartments. That's the point. Each 2V cell occupies one big compartment. With 12v in parallel, each 2V "cell" is two little compartments.

> Not surprising being it comes from someone who's best description of > a wire gauge is "heavy." Nobody's going to touch wire gauge, NELL. It's just asking for ridicule for looking it up.

I learn from wherever I can. I've had a couple Electrical/Electronics instructors who also learned a few things from me.

At least make an effort on the first question, NELL. Skipping it just gives you an automatic zero.
The second question is about a car battery connected to a motorcycle. Okay? Not the other way around, NELL, *not* a motorcycle battery connected to a car. I don't know what threw you off there, it should have been pretty clear.
Since I already finished the third question for you, I'll have to change it a little bit. Explain why batteries in series won't have the discharge problem that parallel batteries can have.

Nothing threw me off sweetie, I've never had the occasion to connect a car battery to a motorcycle. Unlike your hero Snofart, I can't speak of that which I've never done. Thanks to my fine mechanical skills, all of the motorcycles I've owned never gave me cause to consider connecting one of them to a car battery.
> Since I already finished the third question for you, I'll have to change > it a little bit. Explain why batteries in series won't have the > discharge problem that parallel batteries can have. What discharge problem is that? Nine years+ on the OEM batteries in my 97 CTD doesn't support your assertion. There is no perfect, there is no fool proof, stop looking for it. It's boring and it makes you look like a neurotic.
If you really need to know about batteries in parallel and discharge, try the library. if you're having *other* types of discharge problem, try a gynecologist.
If your compulsion regarding batteries in parallel is *that* overwhelming, try asking Snoclod how many batteries he uses in his plow trucks, what voltage they are and whether they're connected in series or parallel. For bonus points, ask him if and how they're isolated.
When you're done, wiggle your fat a.s back into your cubicle and do the work that my welfare to work tax dollars are paying you to do.

The 2nd answer /is/ non-obvious, but add a little insight to what you (should) know, and a skilled Car Electric Wiz like you ought to be capable of solving problems like this. Or at least making semi-plausible guesses. But you probably only measure things, right? The troubleshooting flowchart solves the problem from there.
