Ok, today, is a big day in history for me.

This will be literally a succesfull run without running the alternator.

I disconnected the activation wire for the alternator. So no batterie charging. I connected an agm deepcycle batterie to the accessories fuse box. And i disconnected the wire from the startingbatterie to the accesories fuse box.

In this few first testruns, the car will be started from the original startingbatterie. Bit the car will run off the deepcycle that is located in the trunk. (Yes it works, i did a small testrun yesterday).

In this testrun i have an 75Ah capacitie. Usable capacitie is 75x60%=45Ah.

I have an second 75Ah agm deep cycle, but this one needs to be desulfated.

In 11h i hopefully post pics and gold results!
