Amart88 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 I just finished installing my new system today. In a 2006 pontiac pursuit G5. 2 Hifonics BRZ2100.1D's 1 Kinetic HC 1400 270 Amp ohio generator Alt. All Knu 1/0 Kolossus (2 Runs) 2 Btl N2 15's Ported Wall I finished hooking everything up and got the system running. After bumping for a few seconds, I got an error on my Dash that said "CHECK CHRGING SYSTEM". I didnt crank it up for very long at all when It said this. After messing with it some more tuning my amps, I got the same error come up followed by "BATTERY SAVER ON" message. I don't know what this means. I think another Batt is needed. All my grounds are good, checked with DMM. and my resting voltage at idle is 15.44 on my kinetic and 11.2 on my factory batt. The 2 runs of 1/0 are both on the Kinetic also with 2 1/0 grounds. The factory ac delco is seperate by itself with factory Power and ground. Before this system I had one 2100 and 2 15 type r's and never had this issue and the Kinetic and the factory batt were in paralell. I seperated them for this build so my kinetic wouldnt leech off of my factory. I'm waiting on a volt meter to get here so I have to be careful. It also seems like my steering is a bit stiffer. Any help would be great. Thanks. Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.
Loslam Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Sounds like you're not charging stock battery if it's at 11.2v, I'm havent a hard time going through this info or maybe its just me. So you have a dual alt bracket, with factory alt charging stock battery? Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

HunterJohnson Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 I agree with loslam I think ur stock battery isnt getting charged but your kinetic damn 15.44V! Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass

So you have a dual alt bracket, with factory alt charging stock battery? No just one 270 HO alt charging both. But the factory batt is factory with no 1/0 wire. All the 1/0 is on my kinetic 1400. So kinetic is charging seperate from the factory batt. Also, my amps are drawing from the kinetic, not the factory lol Edited March 19, 2012 by Amart88 Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.
Loslam Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 ^ yeah that's pretty high, I hope that's cold start and it drops down to 15ish after warm if this is your daily Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

Loslam Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 You can't have separate charging if you're charging both with same alternator. They must be in parallel. but the battery being that low sounds like it's not getting anything at all. Connect them with 1/0, or buy another kinetic to replace factory battery Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

HunterJohnson Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 lol this may sound stupid but you sure you have a run from your alt to your stock battery. Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass

I have been looking for an answer to that question for quite some time lol. I have more 1/0 here and plenty of terminals. That will be my project tomorrow. @ HunterJohnson Hmmmm..... lol yeah but no 1/0 just the factory wire. Maybe I will put one run to the stock batt and one to the kinetic instead of 2 on the kinetic. Damn car is hard enough to get 2 1/0 runs let alone any more Edited March 19, 2012 by Amart88 Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.
