Amart88 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I know this has probably been asked before but what is the proper amperage setting on the charger to charge a d2700 or xp3000? 5, 15, or 25? Thanks. I charge them individually as they are being stored indoors right now. Edited March 12, 2013 by Amart88 Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

Omega5002 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I hear 15 amps because that's what the XS Power charger charges at Quote 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corona_jeff Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 15a for a single batt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters21w Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Does it really matter? Whenever I put a single batt on it never charges at 15a anyways. It's usually less than 10a. The intellicharger lowers the amperage depending on how much of a charge the battery needs. You'll notice when you turn it on.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 15amps for a single battery is optimal charge rate. You are correct Hunters21w. The intellichargers will increase and decrease the charge current depending upon what the battery needs, but it will not go over the amperage you have it set to. The 5amp setting will charge it up, but will take longer. The 25amp will charge it up faster, but will not get a good deep charge while charging one battery. 15amp gets a good deep charge while still charging at a good rate and not taking forever. The 25amp setting is better when charging a couple of batteries or more, because you are dividing the amperage between the battery bank. It also work best for the racers that need to charge their batteries quickly between each race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters21w Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Quick question though, lets say you have 1 battery you want to fully charge as fast as possible. You put it on 25a, but it is only charging it at 10a. Would it charge any quicker than just dropping it down to 15a?

MIKE-2U Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think not because its still under the max limit you select (15a).

Hunters21w Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 That's my thought as well.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 If you put a stop watch on two batteries that were discharged the same amount, then yes it would charge quicker on the 25amp mode. The charger regulates the amperage and the voltage. Checking with a clamp meter would be a much more accurate way of checking the amperage also instead of going by the gauge.
