whyverne14 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Well I installed the WFCO Parallax Replacement Kit over a month ago and these are my thoughts so far. The old Parallax in the 1986 Dolphin was not charging the battery at all. I read about all the different options and realized that there were better and slightly cheaper ways to go rather than using the Replacement Kit, but being old/lazy/busy; I decided to go with the easy direct swap. You can always find something on the Internet to scare you and I did read a post somewhere that the WFCO would never put out 14.4 volts. I've found that not to be true. I sometimes get the 14.4 volts reading and it seems to happen when it should, when the battery is right around full. You need that extra oomph to pump in that last 10% or so of charge. I don't know how it knows to do that but I'm happy that it does. So I'm satisfied with my swap. I'm a nerd and I've read everything that I can on the subject of batteries and charging and I've come to the conclusion that it's not Rocket Science. No, it's much harder than that; more like Quantum Physics. There are so many differing opinions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermonter Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Not bad. I don't have volume adjustments on my computer currently, what is that dryer pipe for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Let me guess. You're using a laptop and it just did an automatic upgrade to Windows 8.1? Well, that's what happened to me and my volume is so low I can hardly hear anything. In fact since I posted that video I've been trying (again) to improve things!!

Vermonter Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 haha, no I am hard at "work" right now. Green Mountain Coffee supplies us with "the best" technological advancements. Anyway... no speakers. So what is that pipe for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyverne14 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Any pictures of the install process or pictures of the final result? No, everything was easy even for a klutz like me and it all looks the same as when I started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
