Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Re-reading your earlier posts again, it seems to me that you understand the supplied power situation and yes, the jumpers set when the power indicator light is on.

 

That's what jumper boxes are for.

Also.... Using a switch controller (like the @Diode Dynamics D Switch) can help prevent unwanted drain.

 

What’s a jumper box Mr DD boy

 

DD boy. lol

This message was brought to you in part by......

 

I think he's talking about battery jumpers or boosters.

The wife carries one in her Jeep.

 

Something like this

 

Ohhhh... I have one in every car. Check!

 

You, I am not worried about lol.

 

You shouldn't worry so much.
It causes wrinkles and hair loss.

 

There's a 5amp Cargo LP fuse under the dash that I should be able to use for the switch.
I have no Cargo LP.

 

That's one thing. I never understood why the long bed trucks don't have cargo lamps.. You would think with a longer bed it would be used for more cargo ergo you would use the cargo lamp.

 

Everyone should! Those things are lifesavers.

 

SO I just wandered out to pick up some home improvement crap. With the very cold road and light rain, damn there be some slippery spots!

 

Air down and full send

 

I'm also wired up with a storage lock and sunroof circuit......
neither of which I have.

 

Don't they use salt in Madtown?
Light rain and slippery spots would yield about 40ton up here.
Taco would look like a powdered donut.


Whatcha buy? Nosey viewers want to know.

 

I have looked at these in the past. My fear it that it would live neglected-ish in the truck and that it would most likely be super cold when I need to use it. Meaning little to no available charge.
What are the real world experiences having used one? Also what's the useful life on these?

 

Not sure what brand the wife has.
She's had it for awhile, I guess.
I just found out this fall she had one. I told her to make sure it's charged and when she did it was still pretty full...
She parks in the garage 99.9% of the time.

 

Once a year I go out and gather them and recharge them. The one in the truck is the oldest-2018 is when I got is and the most used as it gets used at school a lot. Still holds a charge and starts cars. even into the orange on the charge scale. NOCO is the brand I bought across the board.
