P4killer_ Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 So ive researched this quite a bit, and sort of get mixed reviews.. I ordered an xp3000 today and plan to get a d3400 for up front but thier out of stock atm but thats cool cuz im out of $$$ for a lil bit.. anyway I can either run the xp in the back with the stock bat or i also have have a shuriken bt100 ~ kinetik 2000 sitting in the garage but its been there since like oct 2011.. i checked it with my dmm last week and its sitting at 12.6v.. should i run the wet cell untill i can get a 3400 or charge the bt100? Im currently running wetcells in a battery box in the rear right now but it takes up alot of room so ill want to switch out to the xp3000 asap i need the room back! anyway, Thanks Quote Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Charge that bt100 either way you do it. Keep it healthy. Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 ^^ X2 Charge it at least monthly And that means a charger, not hooking it to an alternator and starting your car. You can also get a desulfator and trickle charger and hook both of those up to refresh the battery since it sounds like it has been sitting discharged for a bit.

Oh lol id never do that.. you could easilly burn up your alt trying to charge a dead bat.. I can just put it on a stand up charger Ive got but idk nothing bout a desulfator..

SnowDrifter Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Then yeah, charge it. Something you can do if it's a bit stale is charge it all the way, then hook it up to your car and turn in your lights until it dips below 12v, then charge it again. Do that like 3 times Quote ~~~~~~~~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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
