Jessica Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 I've noticed that during the colder parts of the day i am seeing 14.6v. During the summer I would see 14.4 cold, 14 with the engine warmed up during those 100 degree days i would see between 13.8 and 14. I know heat is bad for alts, but didn't know cold would actually help. Either that or may voltage regulator is on its way out lol. Is anyone else seeing better charging with the winter weather coming in? Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

S15_Silvia Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Cold conductors have lower internal resistance. It's because the molecules aren't bumping around quite so much, so the electrons have an easier time getting from point A to point B. 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

TheBetterMethod Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Yep. That's how it works. I've seen 14.6 since it started cooling down. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!

pa-pa-platypus Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 cold weather makes alts charge higher lol your regulators fine man you just dont see without an external voltmeter cause a few tenths doesn't show up on stock very well 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
Jessica Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Posted November 6, 2012 It's great and all except i know cold is bad for batteries. Kind of cancels it all out i guess. Still cool seeing that 14.6 lit up on the dash. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.
