moh.vze.com 281 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I purchased an XS D2400 from you guys on March 8th and I would like to get a replacement battery. I've charged this battery up several times already and it would discharge from its full charge voltage to 12.6V within 2 hours. I believe my battery might have been damaged internally during the shipment. Do you guys cover shipping fee both ways?

SnowDrifter 9106 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 What charger? How long did you charge it for? What voltage was it at when you removed said charger? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to post Share on other sites
moh.vze.com 281 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 This was the voltage of the Battery when I first got it: The charger I'm using is a brand new Ctek 7002 US Multi Charger. I charged it over night @14.5V and removed it the next morning when i saw it floating at around 13.4V. It later dropped down to 12.6V. I charged it again today for another 7 hours and it discharged from 13.4V to 12.6V within 2 hours.

D-train-13k 23 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 whats the temp like in the area its being charged..? and i wouldnt worry about it if voltage isnt dropping below 12. its called a 12 volt battery for a reason.

The forecast says 50 degrees. The instruction manual said not to use it if it's under 12.8V if I remember correctly, so this is bad.

armykyle1 231 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 if they don't fix it. Put a heavy draw on it, then charge it back up Done that a on few batts. NSB130ft was sitting @11.8 when I got it.

SnowDrifter 9106 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Try this: discharge the battery until it drops below 12v, then charge it again. Do this a couple times.

The forecast says 50 degrees. cold weather murders batteries. esp if the surface the battery is on is really cold. such as concrete. 12.6 is a good floating voltage. i wouldnt worry about it. but doing the heavy draw and then recharge would be a good idea The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to post Share on other sites
moh.vze.com 281 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 So you guys are suggesting that I run that recondition mode on my Ctek 7002? I'll wait for Nathan's reply to my PM before I do it because AudioSaving's warranty is only 30 days. Hopefully AudioSavings can extend that 30day free 2-way shipping replacement at 100% no cost thing for me so I can discharge the battery and recondition it to see if it all fixes up.

So I have to disagree, 12.6v is not dismal, but it's far from great. And a typical battery should rest at ~2.14v per cell when fully charged. That means that this battery should be sitting at 12.84v, not 12.6. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to post Share on other sites
