[QUOTE="hoss, post: 2109368, member: 549860"] you sure about that? you care to explain to me why my amp caught on fire before the battery died? or do you want me to go ahead and explain it for you? the voltage is a combination of two sources, voltage coming from the battery(reserve power), and voltage coming from the charging system(A.K.A. the alternator, A.K.A. power on tap). if the voltage dips lower than the battery can support, it will drain it from the alternator, if the alternator cant keep up, the voltage goes into the danger zone. while this isnt good for the battery, it is not going to kill it in the short term. any time you present low voltage to a battery, it isnt going to be healthy for it, but as long as you dont keep it in a low voltage environment, it will be ok. if you keep a battery at a low voltage for any extended amount of time, its not going to come back to the voltage its supposed to be at. however, if you present a low voltage situation to the electronics, even for short periods of time it can cause harm. lets say, for example, you have a car stereo that is made to be run at 12v, but your charging system cant keep up and you are drawing it down to ~9-10v. the input side of the amplifier is going to be working overtime trying to feed the output side of said amplifier. with the input side working overtime, it causes heat. heat causes parts to become inefficient, inefficiency leads to them working even harder, which leads to more heat, which leads to dead electronics. the battery on the other hand while its not happy at what you are doing to it, once you stop and it breathes a sigh of relief because it has current again, can charge back up, and go on about its business. low voltage is going to kill your electronics before it hurts the battery. so saying that you will be fine because your battery will keel over before your stereo will is a large crock of shit [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] so now, if you have any info to back up your claim, i really would like to know why my amplifier caught on fire before my battery even thought about having a problem [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
