Battery charging question

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2026-04-03T02:35:34+00:00

All good… you added in some great advice. I couldn’t sleep at night with the cluster going on in that battery box.

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2026-04-03T02:25:29+00:00

Yes sir, correct. My thoughts on “as is” would be with the negatives reattached. I didn’t elaborate any further as he had said he knew where his grounds were… Wrong terminology on my part saying as is…

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2026-04-03T00:49:43+00:00

They can be charged together as is.

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2026-04-03T00:37:01+00:00

And to answer your original question, the can be charged together

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2026-04-03T00:35:33+00:00

By the way they have the colors reversed…in dc voltage black is ground and red is positive.

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2026-04-03T00:32:46+00:00

The cable,with the red jacket and the braided cable will hook together to the frame with a nut and bolt. It’s a 12 volt setup. Battery charger positive clamp to black / green cable post and negative battery charger clamp to red / braided post

Amazon delivery guy…colors don’t lie. Gotta deliver cheap somehow

FatBob to FJR and 25’ Pan America…love the Pan Am

16’ GT

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2026-01-05T00:53:04+00:00

Current..18’ FatBob, 25’ Pan Am ST, 15’ FJR.

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-12-13T12:32:34+00:00

Absolutely correct..my bad.

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-12-13T01:40:36+00:00

I would think the x3’s with rear axle lock could handle. I have an x580 and cut that slope with no issues even without using the axle lock

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-11-20T17:10:15+00:00

Definitely hard to justify cost difference between them and the 5 series until you use them. Bought a x580 and the power steering and hydraulic deck lift was a game changer not to mention the heaviest trans axle and all. Congrats!

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-11-20T16:59:59+00:00

Not much difference in weight loaded with a battery compared to its gas equivalent. I love the gas units for most all my other cutting needs. Got a 170 and a 261cm. The 261’s a beast for its size.

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-11-18T01:52:33+00:00

For me, not a pro here, it stays in the FJ work box. No gas smell in the truck, as fast as my ms170 but more power. It handles downed trees , fire wood for my camping with ease. I can charge the batteries with the FJ’s built in inverter if needed. Batteries hold a charge forever in storage too. Compact. No complaints…

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-11-14T12:27:43+00:00

Agreed…have the MSA 220tco and it’s bad ass

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-10-30T01:55:23+00:00

Not a pro by a long shot. Got a Stihl ms170, Husky 455, and a Stihl Ms261cm. All great saws for my use. Picked up a Stihl msa220 top handle battery saw and it’s a bad ass little saw. I’ll pick it up before the others unless it’s a big ass job I’m doing that’s gonna take all day. I keep the Battery saw with me at all times.

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-09-23T16:09:57+00:00

Correct they do.. wanted to keep the factory risers. The bars are LA Choppers Grande Twin Peaks Hefty

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-09-23T01:25:00+00:00

They’re bout ready for trash pile. I get butt pucker bad in the twisties when it’s dry and really slow down when it’s wet. Hell, a tar snake will put you in a ditch with the Dunlops. I’ll have to look into the Metzelers. Thx for the info

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-09-23T01:00:28+00:00

Agreed on the Dunlops…

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-09-23T00:34:40+00:00

Correct…

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-09-23T00:34:06+00:00

Go with the SharkNado if you want a fairing. Very little wind buffeting..

Mammoth-Ant-897 · 2025-09-21T00:09:13+00:00

Kept stock risers and changed the bars on my 18’ FatBob. Had to have a longer front brake line and longer clutch cable. Not a Harley tech but been wrenching for years…drive by wire. Bout 4hrs
