Tim Lam Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I think actually adding a second battery would put less stress on the alt, because the first battery isnt getting blasted ever 2 secs. You have more reserve capacity allowing the alternator to catch up during times whenbass isnt sucking so much juice. haha seeing you everywhere bassface! but put in simple terms, this is accurate. think of it like this, the alternator isn't charging 2 batteries. that would be hooking up both batteries directly to the alternator. not so, so the draw from the first battery simple charges the second one. and with left over voltage in the second battery returning to charge the first one(they do this to gain the same voltage) the first battery is also getting charged from the alternator plus the second battery. it's almost like a bigger battery, but more complicated. so for the last time, (especially with these audio batteries that have quick discharge and recharge rates) they do NOT add any more stress to your alternator.

bassface Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Stop following me with your good advice tim, makes me look like im giving bad advice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 im still getting voltage drop even when i pulled my system, so somethings up with my alt. im gonna have to end up putting a HO in anyway for the screens im putting in, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL what. If you put in lots of batteries on a small alt you're going to be dropping voltage like a bastard and making your alts job a lot harder. So they can add stress.

n8ball2013 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 omg where do these people come from? completely wrong. So if the second battery gets its charge from the first battery what charges the first one? Your alternator. Your factory alternator is only meant to provide power for the vehicle ans its stock components. If you are at the point where you are adding batteries you need yo look into upgrading your alternator as well. It takes power to make power. Just adding batteries is not the answer as your alt will still have to charge them. The multiple batteries just give you a bigger reserve. Meaning when you start getting into voltage drop it's going to take you alot longer to get back to a properly topped off battery meaning your alternator is going to have to work longer not necessarily harder as its only capable of doing what it was built to do. You give alot of marginal advice Tim. From someone who didn't know you should fuse both ends of a power run from front to back its really hard to even take you seriously Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

Tim Lam Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 omg where do these people come from? completely wrong. School...... Tim, I love your quote about batteries charging themselves. Way to pull one out of your ass. how is that out of my ass? its fact buddy. hook up two batteries with different voltages and its fucking common sense. a battery(for example) at 6V and a battery at 10V, the 10V battery would obviously lose voltage but in turn that voltage would raise the 6V battery. maybe that concept was over your head, but please don't criticize if you aren't sure.

I wouldn't talk shit to a mod, especially the mod you're talking shit to. Don't even try to go back now and say you're not, because your tone says otherwise. N8 wouldn't have posted if he didn't have a little insight to share. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
