Nathan @ XSpower Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 •It is very important that proper charging techniques be used when charging XS Power batteries. XS Power batteries are designed for use with the XS Power battery chargers with a MAXIMUM output voltage of 2.4 volts per cell (14.4v for 12v batteries and 19.2v for 16v batteries). AT NO TIME during charging should the battery be subjected to more than 2.4 volts per cell. Voltages above this will cause the battery to “gas” and once the oxygen is vented it cannot be restored. •Under-charging XS Power batteries is equally damaging to the life of the battery. Take special care to ensure that the battery is properly charged before the initial use by verifying the open circuit voltage is above 2.1 volts per cell (12.6 for 12v batteries and 16.8 for 16v batteries). Improper charging can cause damage that is permanent and will VOID THE WARRANTY. If you are unsure if your charger is AGM compatible, please contact the XS Power Batteries Tech Support Department at 888-497-7693, or email us at [email protected] for more details. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan @ XSpower Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 If it is sitting at 13V after being off othe charger for 12-24hrs then the resting voltage is good. You would still want to have it load tested to make sure it holds a load well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep adding batteries but you dont have a sufficient source of amperage. Batteries only store power, they don;t produce it. You can add batts and monitor voltage and adjust your sound to let the batts charge up again as an alternative.

audiman Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 No room for a 2nd alt. in a Pontiac GP will be just adding batteries and monitor voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
