Confused..If cars run off a 12 volt system then how are some guys putting 14 or 16 volts to there amps? When you upgrade your alt or add battery's does it make you put out more volts?
Some people don't know, no reason to bash them.are you joking?
usually...unless its sum noob with a bestbuy system...lol..thenn probly 10volts clippin the holy hell outa it.Some people don't know, no reason to bash them.
When you car is running your usually running in the 13.8v - 14.4v range.
you wire them in seriesYou can also get 16 volts by wiring two 8 volt batteries together in parallel
Heat. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gifhow come i get more volts when its in the morning? Does that mean that my alternator is small or something causing it preforms better after have a super long break over night? When i crank up in the morning and on the 5 min ride to school i get a constant 14.4v even with my system as loud as i turn it. When i crank up after school being in there for 8 hrs. I crank up with like 13.8v and it fluctuates from about 13.3-13.8v.
A standard car batter has a standing voltage of 12.6 volts (or so) when fully charged. Now when it's being charged by an alternator that has a charging voltage that is higher this raises the battery's standing voltage to anywhere between 13.8-14.4 volts.
How much power you see depends on how much of that possible amperage is being consumed.
