[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1298188, member: 15983"] In this case no. My PPW system has been out for over a year and I've been running on the GM one-wire cheapy. My issue is a little bit of undercharging because of the low output of the alternator and the high draw useage. Some of this is user stupidity. I have electric line locks. I lock the rear wheels on the trailer and I freqently forget to turn them off when I get home. I also have a drain somewhere in the system so if I don't shut my batteries off, a couple weeks later, they're dead. I have been stuck 3-4 times now unable to finish winching myself or someone else because I killed the batteries, and then I couldn't restart either. I just put the 3rd battery in a few minutes ago. if nothing else, it's a spare for emergencies. I might wait to hook it all in when I get back. However, I agree that over charging COULD be the case if someone had the welder on high charge and high weld and left it that high while driving the vehicle. [/QUOTE]
