[XS Power Intellicharger Issue]

If you have to buy a new one you might wanna check out the PSC15 for $200. Basically does the same thing as yours but can also be used as a 15 amp power supply and has recovery mode as well. There's also the PSC30 and a PSC60 if you wanna spend more and need more power. A lot of people are using those now and seem to be happy with them, including myself. I love my PSC15. Good luck man

Oh thank god for you guys. I'll take the lowest bid and pay for overnight Fed Ex shipping.

[PSC 15 / D7500 float charge question.]

I charged my new D7500 (sitting for a bit but never used) from 12.6 last weekend. The initial float charge was 13.1, but rose to 13.4 by day's end. Over the last week it has slowly risen to 13.8 while still in float mode. Is this something to be concerned about? The manual says is should be floating at 13.56 volts. My garage is about 65 - 70 degrees right now.

Here are some exciting pictures of the voltage progression...

[Question of the day: What was the first subwoofer that you heard that made you fall in love with BASS?]

Four Alpine 6012 (made by Gauss with 4 inch coils) 12" subs in the back of my '89 Honda Civic.

All sealed at 1.4 cubes per driver for a QTC of .505 each. Sounded amazing.

Alpine tech support told me on the phone that a smaller box (.8 cubes per driver) would yield a QTC of .707 and I'd be "boomin down the street like a minitruck" and was unacceptable!

Got beat out of first place by an Al and Ed's install with 12" Bazooka bass tubes and access to an RTA

My favorite cds to show it off were Bachbusters and Rush Moving Pictures....oh and the Alpine test CD... "Planet Krypton"!!!!!!!

OK I'm done.

[D7500 just sitting in the garage question.]

Cool. Thanks man.

[D7500 just sitting in the garage question.]

Due to major neck surgery I have had to put my project on hold for a long time. My D7500 is one year old now and never used. I charged it to 13.1 about six months ago (from the 12.6 it was at) with my PSC15 and now the voltage has slowly fallen back down to 12.6. I want to charge it again but don't know if I should discharge it first somehow. So that is my question... charge it? Or discharge and then charge it?

[D7500/PSC15 Charging question.]

Just charged my brand new D7500 for the first time with my brand new PSC 15 Intellicharger. I was under the assumption that the float charge was going to be 13.56 volts. When the charger said FULL after a few hours the display was flashing between 13.2 and 13.3 volts. After I disconnected the battery from the charger I tested the voltage with a multimeter and it read 13.11 vdc. Is this normal voltage for a first time charge on the D7500? The battery tested at 12.66 vdc before initial charging.
