REVOK1NER Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 So I was wondering about what my voltage is sitting at, when my car is off and I just put the key in it reads 10.6-10.8, which I know is a little low, and when I turn my car on and it is in park it reads 13.8. I am thinking about getting a new Alt and adding a battery. Do you think I need to do both or just 1? Also when I have everything on (Headlights, foglights, AC) and I am driving, it reads 13.4 Any help on the upgrade is appreciated. 2000 Ford Explorer XLT -20" RVM "Buck" Wheels -2.5% Tint -CompuStar Vizion Alarm -(4) Infinity Kappa 680.7cs 5x7" -1 XStatic BatCap Model 300 -2 18" DC LVL 4's -Amps are undecided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVOK1NER Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I do not have one of those haha I have a battery charger I am not sure if that would help. And yah I noticed when I took the cover off there looked like there was something to turn. I am getting metered again tomorrow I could see if Rusty has one down at Sound Solutionz. 2000 Ford Explorer XLT -20" RVM "Buck" Wheels -2.5% Tint -CompuStar Vizion Alarm -(4) Infinity Kappa 680.7cs 5x7" -1 XStatic BatCap Model 300 -2 18" DC LVL 4's -Amps are undecided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVOK1NER Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yah that would make sense if yours was off by 1.2, plus at full tilt it doesn't even dip past a quarter on the gauge on my dash and my meter says like 11.2 so I will see if they have one tomorrow but do you have any advice as far as whether or not to do another battery and alt? Or one of the two? 2000 Ford Explorer XLT -20" RVM "Buck" Wheels -2.5% Tint -CompuStar Vizion Alarm -(4) Infinity Kappa 680.7cs 5x7" -1 XStatic BatCap Model 300 -2 18" DC LVL 4's -Amps are undecided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
