I don't know why you would have a problem then....I'm sure you are running relay's?

I am using #2 welding cable for my battery leads, but don't think that would make an incredible difference....



Dev

yeh ive got relays in running off of the pressure switch. i have 8 gauge power wire and a distribution block with 30 amp fuses in it. comps says they draw 17 amps so im gonna get a 15 or 20 to go in.

What compressors are you running?


Dev <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

dual 380's

Dual 380C compressors draw 32 Amps (both units).....hmm...

Well either way man, everything is looking tits!

lol i meant it says on the sticker that the comps draw 17 amps a piece. i left it at full lift last night to see if it leaked any last night and left the comps hooked up. got up this morning and the drivers side was sitting on the ground. hit one switch and the comps came on. i had like three or four leaks. two were after the fill valve for drivers side and two would have leaked the tank down. figure that maybe last night after the comps kept coming on it had my battery pretty much killed and then me hittin switches and running the comps killed it the rest of the way and im not givin it time to get back to its full charge. atleast thats what im hoping. either way more charge is goin in when the funds come about.

Oh fo sho!

I have my setup hooked to a toggle for that very reason...

An upgraded alternator is never a bad choice, especially a 1 wire!

At least you found your leaks, now you shouldn't have to worry much...

All in all seems like everything is working well for you!

Great work!
