Today i did the round trip of 550km, and yes, i was motivated enough to drive only 90 to 100km/h!

What does this mean?

Well, in combination of the alt delete and the long trip.
This is the result, going to a new best tank (I will break the best summer tank record with winter diesel )



Now i have enough capacity to do long trips without the alternator. I should be able to drive an entire week to work without charging.

In the below pic, from left to right: (20HR) 85Ah, 75Ah, 75Ah, 92Ah, 105Ah = total of 432Ah(20hr).
The maximum capacity my charger can handle: 450Ah

The cleaned up trunk (notice the strap over the batterys to nicly hold those in places, just in case...)
