Car wouldn't start. To Nathan @ XS


Recommended Posts

Well, I bought a D680 last year on AudioSavings, Got here floating at 12.7, Used it as my primary Battery for about a month or less, Then added two small AGM in the back. Well about a month ago my car was taking longer to start then usual. Yesterday i unhook the back batteries and the car wouldn't start with just the D680, Right before i tried to crank it the floating voltage was 13.1. As soon as i cranked it everything went dead on the car, two minutes later tried it again, Floating at 13.1 still, Crank it, DEAD. Nothing happens. Hokked the back batts back up and it started no problem. Just want to know if i can send it in to get looked at or what can i do, I also wanted to ask if you guys have some kind of upgrade plan where i can send this D680 in and pay the difference for a D5100R.

Car is a 97 civic 4 banger, Not much needed to turn it over.

Yeah, It was floating at 13.1 but when I went to start it I got nothing, Instantly went dead, didn't even try to crank the car. All lights, voltmeter, radio shut off for about a minute or so.

It was on the charger Wednesday night through Friday morning, when I disconnected the rear batteries to clean up wiring and wire up my AQ2200. Besides the float is at 13.1 now and was at 12.6-.7 New.

sounds like a loose connection at the battery up front, if it's not that then probably what was already stated above ^^^^

I was thinking it was a loose connection too, so I started going through every one and they were all nice and tight. Besides I'm pretty sure it wouldn"t start with the rear batteries connected also. I think I'm gonna take it to AutoZone to get it tested and check if the rear batteries can start the car alone.

just visited XS power's site to verify, but they recommend the 5100R starter bat for that car man. The 680 is tiny compared to 5100, maybe it just doesn't have enough reserve to start the car?
