110ah battery added!

[Xprime4 10+ year member]

Stock 75amp alt, cheap with high cca front battery and a no name enerwatt 110ah 80ish lbs.

Between the batteries, there is an stinger isolator selonoid 200amp. The instal wasn't that fun, a lot of terminal since most of the wire run was made of 2 or 3

4ga. Anyway the result is nice. I do have a little less current with the car on getting to the amp (but there's a lof ot stuff between the two). The car on, i get around 14v at front batt and 13.8 at the amp. Not that bad i guess.

Anyway, while driving, dunno what rpm, there is NO voltage drop on my voltmeter till i get excessive amount of bass (see sign for setup). At full tilt !!!!! almost to no dimming at all while on highway.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif I'm seriously impress!!!

And the best of all, i seem to get a lot more from my substage. The 2006d seems more powerfull than ever.

I also love the fact that i can listen to music car off almost full tilt for a ??? time. let's say i'm using 110amp, the batt would last one hour? all that without emptying my front.

I'm not riding full tilt often, but when i'll do the batt really does the job and I don't see the need of an Ho alt on the few hundreds miles left on this car.

Thank's the Loopkiller for all the useful info too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I should have done this before, my only regret //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

btw the batt cost me 250$ can so around 190$us atm. Things are expensive over here

Nice. What are you using to measure that voltage? A DMM or something else? I've been wanting a little voltage read-out but can't find one online.

check for voltmeter on ebay. I know stinger sell one. You can probably find a way to make it fit on the dashboard. Mine's is under the headunit. He's off .5 volt tough //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I simply have to add .5volt to get the actual voltage.

no one give a **** about my new battery //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

could someone at least tell me if i understand well the 110amp for an hour before 10.5v????

loopkiller, where are you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I can't believe it. I was riding full tilt after job tonigh and i couldn't get the voltage to drop at the front battery. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I really push the system and my ears to their limits. It is really louder than was it use to be. I can't even get a .01 volt drop, nothing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I feel so dumb... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif there was a bad contact at the selenoid and the two batts weren't linked together //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif Let talk about bubble bursting lol

But at the same time, i was riding the batt hard without even charging it and it was still at 11.3v when I check the day after...

I feel noob, real noob //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

btw i'm still getting normal drop, around 1volt at full tilt. So yeah, it does help but it ain't magic lol

Good to hear that the additional battery helps. Sorry I was away the last few days. Work is busy and seems like business is picking up. When we get busy, I have less time to post. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

+ the front batt seems to be in better shape. Starting the car is smoother than ever. Lol at me thinking volt drop were gone. I really feel dumb about this //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
