SmallTruk Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 the XS would probably be ok under the hood but it does have a fan on it. water could get in through that. I will have mine by the rear batts. That's a no go for me then because I periodically spray the engine bay down to clean it. I'm thinking I'll just mount it in the back near the batteries and connect it to a weatherproof recessed male receptacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 TTT I plan on bumping this thread for max exposure over the next few days. Remember, the moral of the story is not how fancy your charger is but rather the fact that you're alternator is not perfect and keeping your batteries topped off with a charger will improve the health of your whole charging system big or small. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

moh.vze.com Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 So if I start getting into the habit of charging my battery over night, is there a way to set it up so if I ever start my car, there will be a light inside the dash that will tell me to unhook the charger before I back up out of the garage?

littlebuck1919 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 It would be cool to see a permanent mount solution for the XS charger like the CTEK's use but a longer cord for better reach: is this ^^^ any good? and would it charge a D3400? (i only have one battery, id just like to be sure that its charged fully) Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152368-littlebuck1919s-feedback/#entry2177586 i think you'd stick your dick in a blender if it told you it was 40 wtih two kids your age. lol 6/18/82 - 4/17/12 R.I.P. to my sister Shana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamace24 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Might be a stupid question but... I have two batteries under my hood connected to each other and in a 07 yukon my alternator really annoys me in that it fluctuates a lot in charging voltage and my batteries are never even close to full with a small system. Question is.. I can hook up the charger directly to 1 battery and not worry about disconnecting it from the alternator first right? Alternator and batts can still be hooked up together while charging? 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yes. My charger is always hooked to the batteries whether the car is on or off charging or not. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

teamace24 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Cool can you show a little how to do that since itll cost me around 250 to buy an mla module that supposedly forces my alternator to charge at a steady 14.4 instead of 12's and 13's. Its a 2007 yukon with plenty space under the hood. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
