Low voltage, charging bat help?

[Mikey Bates]

So when i get in my car my voltage usually 13.4-13.8 idle with no bass. and full tilt itll get down the the 12s. would charging my bat (stock) help for a little bit anyways? i do have big 3 btw. only puller 1200-1600 watts btw

you just have voltage drop drop to the 12s man, charging the battery probably wont do much, especially if its a stock acid cell one. Just add one in the back to help witht the drop. Also an alt would do wonders..

would adding like a d6500 up front instead help? and start with gettin rid of the acid bat? so is an alt still near in the future?

If your alt can't provide the amperage you pull your voltage will drop, period.

yeah i guess i saw that coming haha. and is there any way to tell how much amps your amp pulls? that would tech be the fuse ration correct? or you could use that number?

[SlamminBeats]

yes adding batteries helps, regardless of the alt. If the alt sucks, your batteries drain quicker.

Ive ran 2k on big 3 before. I don't recommend it.

No you will need a clamp meter.
