  19. D3100 question

    in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)

    Posted

    You were headed in the right direction before you got to the back battery. lol

    Here is the big thing though. Why add more to your system when you know you do not have enough power to run the system? Upgrade your electrical before you damage something first. I am not saying go buy a bank of batteries or anything, but you need to have stable electrical to run a system. It takes power to make power.

    If you are trying to save money then go with the XP series in the back. You will get a lot more power out of the XP than the 2400. Heck if you are looking at money only, then go with a deka or shuriken over the 2400. You will get better performance.

    I know my charging isnt what it needs to be. I just want to have some reserve power if I decide to beat on the system for a minute.

    ive ran an xs d5100 with my stock battery for about a year. it was a daily driven car though.

    if this is your daily driver you wont have an issue.

    BUT, if you go on vacation or leave the car more than 3 or 4 days I would recommend disconnecting the d3100 from the front.

    thats how I got around the whole issue. ran it for a year like that no issues with 1 xs and 1 stock battery. and the 5100 battery load tested fine and is still in use to this day.

    my buddy currently does the same thing until he can afford a new battery up front.

    These are the responses I am looking for, I want to make sure I dont do something dumb and regret wasting my money. I drive my truck several times a day minimum so sitting isnt an issue. I'd like to get the biggest xs I can, so if I can throw a d3100 in the back and not hurt it, then thats what I will do.

    I hope I didn't offend you nathan with bringing up the kinetic, I was under the impression that they are halfway decent

    If you can buy a new battery for under the hood somewhat soon, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    But I wouldnt go doing it for years on end.

    Personally if your system is correct in your sigature with a audiopipe 1500, high output alt, big 3, etc

    I would upgrade that stock battery under the hood first with the proper size battery that fits that location, and then go ahead and see if your still needing more battery power or reserve capacity.

    just my $0.02 though.

    Ok thanks.

    My sig is correct, but within the next month i am getting a c2 team 1k sub and a c2 recon 1.6 running .5 ohm which has the capability of 2.5+. I just want to make my electrical as solid as possible.

    Im debating a d3100 or a bank of maxwell super caps. But since my alt isnt gonna be able to hold it on its own so i am leaning toward building my reserve

    Yes, it will hurt the agm battery.

    A flooded lead acid battery has a lower resting voltage compared to an agm battery that normally rests around 12.9 or so volts.

    When your car is off, the front stock flooded lead acid battery is only about 12.3ish volts, there for the front battery will cause the agm battery with a higher resting voltage to drain its voltage down until it matches that off the stock flooded lead acid type battery.

    Ahh well crap.

    maybe I could look into a small front agm from the auto parts store too then?

    Sorry about the dp

    I may be purchasing a D3100 for a secondary battery. I know it's been discussed A LOT but will i cause damage to either my stock batt up front or the d3100 having them both wired up?

    I'm looking more for a yes or no answer. My starting battery is about 2 years old, next time its needs to be replaced i will upgrade it to agm also. But in the mean time will I hurt either battery?

    Thanks
