1Loudrt Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Well, I was lucky enough to pick up a sponsorship through NorthStar battery company. They seen my truck at SEMA with the Telcom batteries in the Bed and wanted to talk with me. They had no Idea I lived in their back yard. So after a few months here we are with Two of their new Blue Top G-31 AGM engine start batteries. Here are the specs for each of these batteries. NSB G-31M 12 volts 1150 Cold Cranking Amps 1370 Marine Cranking Amps 2150 Pulse Cranking Amps 205 Minute Reserve Capacity Electrical characteristics BCI Group Number 31m SAE Terminal configurations Capacity - 20 Hour Rate 100Ah Capacity - 10 Hour Rate 92Ah Internal Resistance 2.2 m Short Circuit Current 5000A Measurements Height w/Terminal 9.12 in Width 6.77 in Length w/Rib 12.91 in Weight 77.8 lbs I started today cutting and welding. The idea behind their AGM design is that the battery can be mounted in almost any way except inverted. So I decided to use that to my advantage. I'll be building a battery rack in place of the stock battery tray and will mount one there as it usually is. I Decided to put the second battery on the passenger side and will be mounted on it's side. So far i only have the passenger side backet fabbed up but the driver side will come later this week.

1Loudrt Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Started on the Driver side- I've been wanting to trash the stock battery tray for years and I now I can. Pulled it out and made the frame for the tray. I'll work on the supports tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parentnoia Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Where exactly can one get a few of these? Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah." For example, if you hate me you can e-tah dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Loudrt Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Been Busy but today I had some spare time to start the sheet metal around the battery boxes and engine bay. I am building these so they can easily be taken out if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Loudrt Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Put in a couple more hours of fab work today. Slowly comming along. Wish I had a Metal Brake -Would have made doing this alot easier, Instead I'm cutting out my panels using a plasma cutter, getting as close to my line as possible without burning through it and then grinding all my edges straight. This is what takes the most time. I'm also trying to keep both sides some what uniform so it's easier on the eye's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Loudrt Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Well I had a show on Sat> so I had to hurry up and knock these out. Worked on them all day Thur and Friday. Still need to make another panel to run accross the back firewall area but so far I'm really happy with the turn out. The front panel I cut out and then took it to a place that does my water jetting and had them cut out the R/T and Dakota into it. And yes My paint booth was rigged out of a E-Z up canopy, plastic drop cloths and 2 filters with the down draft one attached to a box fan. works great.
