moh.vze.com Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Box of the XP3000. The battery doesn't look damage with any cosmetics. I probably won't install the XP3000 until I get my DC Power 270A Alt unless you guys know it would be fine to run it now with the stock 90A Alt and with my current 1200W system. A box within a box FTW! This one didn't have as much popcorn as the D2400 though D2400 package on the right: The D2400 had more popcorn: XP3000 Voltage: D2400 Voltage: D2400 next to my old Yellow Top Took out my yellowtop: Stock Hold Down: ONLY ONE PROBLEM! I don't feel like getting a new bracket thing so I just need a longer bolt.

moh.vze.com Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 One question, is it fine to use the D2400 with 12.3V and just have the car charge it?

moh.vze.com Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well, I've just hooked up the D2400 and it is only readin 14.2 to 14.3 with the engine on. My yellow top was reading 14.5V so what's going on?

LoudBimmer Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 you need to charge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh.vze.com Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 After having my car idle for 15 minutes, the voltage went from 14.3V to 13.8V with the engine on. Should I drive around town first for the battery to charge up?

Should I drive around town first for the battery to charge up? how about park your car, hook it up to a CHARGER like he is suggesting? you are SUPPOSED TO charge your batts from xs power before you run them. charging does not mean turn your car and and let your alt charge it.. it means hook it up to a slow trickle charger. please listen to what these guys are telling you to do!

moh.vze.com Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 you need to charge it. I don't have a charger at this time. I'll have to dig into that one thread regarding how people should charge batteries overnight. I was hoping that if I get a good alternator I wouldn't have to worry about charging the batteries Quote DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
