ChampN252 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I finally got two batteries hooked-up. Yay for me, but now the voltage doesn't sit as high idling now. I was sitting at 14.5 idling before, but now its at 14.2. Is this because its so cold now, something deeper? 2012 Honda Accord Radio: Pioneer AVH-4200NEX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotFI? Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 what happens is that the front batt used to get all the attention (voltage) now that it has to run power to the rear batt to keep that batt juiced. this is what i did, try running 2 runs of 0 gauge to the rear batt for less resistance. that mmight help.

ChampN252 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 this aint right. Now I believe my amp doesn't play as loud either. I think it was louder on one battery. I read on ROE that the two battery take more amps from the alt. and gives even less to the amp canceling out the two batteries. 2012 Honda Accord Radio: Pioneer AVH-4200NEX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
