VCM Update
Nathan @ XSpower replied to Nathan @ XSpower's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Nope not going to happen for the Fords unfortunately. -
Optimal amperage charge per battery for the larger 12V (D4700 and larger) batteries is 15amps per battery. Same goes for the 14V and 16V batteries. The intelliSupply would go by the same thing, but you are purchasing a lot more than just a charger with these. You are getting a charger, maintainer, power supply, and battery recovery mode. Me personally I would try to get as close to the 15 amps per that I could reasonable afford.

DC 3.5k

Having more alt and battery power doesn't hurt anything but your wallet. Needing more power than what you have hurts your wallet, performance, and equipment. -
2012 nissan maxima..
Nathan @ XSpower replied to THEKINGsBACK's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
For a group 35 battery most will use the D5100R under the hood. Just measure and make sure if works for you. With the 5100R under the hood you could go with an XP2000 in the back and should be good. You are going to see some voltage drop, but shouldn't be anything major. -
D925
Nathan @ XSpower replied to corvettesundown's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
The 925 will work if you use the 527 hold down. It puts it up on its side, and has the hardware for the side posts. The 3400 and 4700 both have been used in applications like yours as well. Just would have to measure to see which works best for your application. Extending out your cables or switching everything over to ring terminals isn't difficult either. Just take a look and see what works best for you. -
Yeah your charge voltage is WAY low. Are you sure all of your sensors are still working properly. Not sure about your particular vehicle, but usually if you take the sensor on the stock negative wire off or it stops working it will jack up your computer and the charge voltage.3 Def charge the batteries when you get a chance.

xS Power VCM help?
Nathan @ XSpower replied to evermaxx's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
You either do not have your alt wired up correctly or your alt is not working. If everything is wired up correctly and you unhook the VCM controller, then the VCM has no impact on the output of the alternator. If you are reading 11.9 or 12V with the VCM unplugged, then you are only reading battery voltage. Check your alternator and make sure everything is hooked up properly. If this is a single alternator set up, then you should just have to plug your stock harness into the alternator. If this is a dual alt set up, then 99% of the problem is people do not wire the second alt up correctly. If you have a 4 pin oval alt you have to get power going into the alt to turn it on. THE VCM IS NOT DESIGNED TO DO THIS. -

We have kits for the CS and AD. Here are the kits available for single alternator set ups. -
1400.1 and 75.4?
Nathan @ XSpower replied to jakmagic's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
For daily use with proper wiring you should be ok, but you are going to see some drop for sure. Adding in an XP950 to the back would help a lot. -
Cash Prizes!
Nathan @ XSpower replied to Nathan @ XSpower's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
The first idea we had was a windshield bashing competition. Line up everyone that wants to enter in one line. Everyone starts playing at the same time, and the first one to bust it out wins. Then the reality of the days we live in kicked in and shut this idea down. XS Power and Slamology could be held liable for if someone entered the contest, smashed their windshield, and then had an accident on the way home from the show. Even with having them sign a release they could still come back on us and the show. Doesn't make sense, but could happen. -
Cash Prizes!
Nathan @ XSpower posted a topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
We are looking at doing cash prizes at Slamology, so I wanted to get some of your feedback on what you think should win the cash. We can't do it for loudest SPL, because then if any of the extreme guys show up it wouldn't be fair. So, what are some of your ideas on what should win cash? -
Uses?

Did I damage my XS D6500?
Nathan @ XSpower replied to Trill's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
The charger could have overcharged the battery, but if it overcharged it enough to hurt the battery then this post would have been titled "What is this rotten egg sulfur smell?". I am guessing the battery is not charged up. You will see some drop in resting voltage, but not down to 12.1, unless you have something draining the battery a lot. I would charge the battery up (watching the charge voltage periodically with a multimeter) and then see what happens. The best way to do this would be with the battery out of the vehicle and then charge it up and let it set for 12-24hrs to see what the battery rests at not hooked up to anything. If it rests in the 12.8-13.2 range, then you know the battery is good. If you have any questions just give us a call 888.497.7693. This is what we are here for. I know it is kind of strange anymore for a customer to be able to call and get actual customer support, but we still believe in that kind of thing. -
Battery post.
Nathan @ XSpower replied to JP-12's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Just use the application guide on the top right hand side of the website http://4xspower.com/ If it doesn't give you the direct fit then call 888.497.4693 and we will tell you the best for your application.
