Nice looking battery balancing switch.

Does it work correctly?

If you know anyone in need of a repro - Adrian Barrell just made me the metal case and am sure can make more if required... I have a source for repros of the wiring terminal board... and at the moment I can get original NOS power switches.

Not sourced the voltmeter, light switch and light yet... but think they are all probably "jeep" type parts.

That said, if you know of an original balancing switch for sale, please let me know.

Tim

Ps - Rest of the installation looks very nice too!

That looks superb Jesse, very nice.
Tim I presume I need a balance switch assy, but as yet I have no proof of one being fitted in the kangaroo, though it must have one somewhere.

The switch works great. It had to be completely dismantled and rebuilt (just like the rest of the vehicle). The gauge is a modern replacement in keeping with making the vehicle radium free. A lot of wiring in a small space for that radio compartment. I'm still looking for another armored cable. Someone may have noticed the cabling is not correct. I did most of the installation last year. I've been concentrating on trying to walk without falling down the last few months after being rear ended and suffering a TBI.

The military museum in Huntsville Alabama had a couple of derilect Sextons that myself and others were taking parts from. Last I knew, they still had the battery balancing switches. Randy Withrow is the man to talk to.
