Fosgatefeind Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I was talking to a friend about running some 16 volt batterys off my singer ho alt. But he says that because they will charge to 18 volt it will kill my cars electrical? Is it true? And.if so how can.I get around that.

wmrcs Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yea some things might not work. Get a 14v bat and it'll charge at 16v and you should have less/no problems! Quote E34 540iT/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa-pa-platypus Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 yeah wont work charging that high shit gonna start frying...and only way i know of is to run a second alt that is separate from your cars electrical system..would have to be a dedicated alt strictly for you system and separate alt for your car Quote This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87chevyboi Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 if your trying to get your car audio to 16 volt batterys id run them seperate jmo. Your pockets better be deep if your gonna change all your electrical over, i wont say it cant be done but imho it'd be dumb to do it to a daily driver, theres no use to do it Quote My build aka Snow White whats wrong with fat chicks? they are like mopeds, as long as your friends dont see you riding it, they are a blast! hahah I am dumb as a stump. I live in the south and we are all dumb here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a 14v bat and it'll charge at 16v and you should have less/no problems! me and.my friend talked about that too. I see 12 volt batterys go to 14 volts and 16 volt batts go to 18. And.I.never see 14 volt batterys lanbled as 14 volts Quote Buildlog: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/146515-2007-monte-carlo-ls-build-new-plans-with-dc-audio/ TEAM DC AUDIO www.Dcsoundlab.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZTYBRN Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I don't know much about it... And xs doesn't put any info on their website for some reason. But from what I know it steps the voltage down to 12v. You basically put everything but your amps on it (up to 50 amperes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
