    2*12 Volt Batteries in series for 24V - What Trickle Charger?

    Thanks for the info. If I understand correctly I have 2 options: 1) 24V charger. Connect positive/negative one to each battery and charge that way across the series. 2) 12V charger x 2. Connect to each battery as usual. Seems people do this but recognise a chance something funky happens are...

    2*12 Volt Batteries in series for 24V - What Trickle Charger?

    Intervals should be a few weeks (2-4) normally, or a 2 or 3 months max. I probably wouldn't go 6 months without using but good to know a disconnect is the best option if not planning to use.

    2*12 Volt Batteries in series for 24V - What Trickle Charger?

    As per title I have 2 12V batteries for my Komatsu D31P dozer (see image link). I want to trickle charge for when the machine is not in use. Would I get a 12V or 24V trickle charger? Or do I need to disconnect series and do independently? https://photos.app.goo.gl/vgJDrqckjqAEqG6z8 Thanks in...

    D31P Undercarriage Plugs

    Thanks, yet did a clean and put grease on them. I think pulling them out to check will become part of the pre-use grease routine.

    D31P Undercarriage Plugs

    Confirmed it is dry clutches. New plugs on order, I'm going for the middle ground of will put them in, and check when I do greasing etc to make sure I'm not storing leaks there. Thanks for the advice and feedback.

    D31P Undercarriage Plugs

    With the leaking oil, Id left the dozer sitting for ~3months parked with the front tracks on blocks so I suspect a small leak accumulated over that time and came out all at once as I drove off. It doesn't seem to be a heavy flow/leak... but time will tell. regarding the clutch, I assume its...
