TeamHT Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Oh, I know what I'm talking about, fuck you No, you truly don't. It's rather sad really Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudBimmer Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 That's a bunch of bill having to by a special gam charger just so you can charge it up before dropping it in. I don't have to charge up a fucking autozone battery before I install it.

LoudBimmer Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 What vehicle, size of stock alternator, and how is it grounded? BMW, stock alt is 120A, 0 gauge on the ground. Next step wll be upgrading an alternator, once the money is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) you have a very weak alt with that kind of power...adding the 1/0 just showed you how weak your charging system really is.. 120a saz 2500, and just 1 batt upgrade alt, or if you got other batts laying around, *kinetik some one said* toss them in 2 its a band-aid, but it will help Edited December 12, 2011 by Team_DC-Derrick Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Real96SS Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I didn't see it posted anywhere but whats your resting voltage now with the ignition off? I think these types of batteries should be anywhere between 12.6 and 13 something.Don't really understand the charging out the box thing but then again I don't run XS.Never had that problem with my Kinetik batteries.

Next step wll be upgrading an alternator, once the money is right. I don't know how voltage was good before, you definitely don't have the most ideal charging system. Sometimes...the biggest battery with the smallest alternator is not an ideal setup, especially when your current draw exceeds it as it is. Your alternator is trying to charge and supply at the same time and even if you had the max 120 amps your hard pressed. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
