Running xs and optima's

[[email protected]]

I just bought an xs power d3100 and before I put it in I wanted to make sure that it would be safe wired up with two other blue top optima's.

thanks

check the resting voltages of the optimas and let us know what they are

13.0 on both of them

[Bump4life]

you will be fine then

What would have made it a no-go? Just curious

I'm no expert but different resting voltage will cause the batteries to try to keep each other charged, which never really rest and makes ur battery life shorter I believe

yeah thats what I heard too, makes sense mathematically/electronically

[Bump4life]

if your optimas rested lower than the D3100 or vice versa then the lower would constantly be drainging the higher one until they were even. this is bad on the "higher" resting batt
