Can someone help me understand how those batteries died, I thought XS Power is high quality chit

Let me Google that for you...

:)

Also, can't wait for this to be bought back to life, tuned in! :D

Your link takes me to page one of this thread.....

Maybe I am missing it, but Steve does not explain how the batteries sitting for a year caused them to die.

Here.. Google found the answer.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

It used to be the actual Google thing but it must of expired or something, that's weird :WTFBubble:

Sick ride. Tuned in

Speaking of the PC you built for him, why doesn't Chicken play BF3 anymore? Last I saw him was when I first started playing and joined one of your games and as soon as I logged in, he decided he didn't want to play anymore. Never has been online since IIRC

i'll explain

a battery is made up out of 3 components witch are a plastic case, metal plates and battery acid.

the plates are placed in the container with a space between every plate. then the container is filled with acid.

when the battery hold a current (12v) the plates will stay straight and keep their spacing but

if a battery dies its plates have warped and one or more are touching each other.

then the battery no longer holds power.

so you could buy a million dollar battery but if it isn't kept up to it's charge it will die sooner of later

Planned build for my daily driver

2 soundstream reference 4.920 's

2 12' soundstream R2.124 500 watt rms subwoofers in custom box

upgrade of OEM speakers to soundstream combosets

maybe some LED's in the doors

you explain then

The battery works when the car is connected to the battery, electrons are allowed to flow. 3 things in bat. There are 2 connectors that go out of the battery. These are called the cathode and anode. There is also a solution that the cathode and anode sit in (Battery Acid). When used a chemical reaction occurs between the acid and the anode (positive terminal) which releases electrons that flow through the circuit. These reenter the battery through the cathode (negative terminal) where another chemical reaction is happening between the cathode and solution. The electrons are incorporated in the products of this reaction.

in car batts the cathode is lead dioxide (PbO2), the anode is a sponge of lead (Pb), and the solution is sulfuric acid (H2SO4). When the battery is being used, the 2 connections react to form lead sulfate (PbSO4) by reacting with the sulfuric acid.

When a battery dies, it is because one or more of the chemical reactants is more or less used up or is lost somehow due to leaks or other loss.

if its not connected, there is no way for electrons to be made to keep battery alive.

also there can be sulfation that can occur on the plates which slows or stops the reaction. creates a build up on plates

yes if the battery was made so poorly with bad material, the plates may warp or touch due to shock? which would short the battery i believe. but usually there are 6 seperate cells so chances of that happening arent great, i would think

yep 6 2v cells

and for those who dont know what sulfation is, when batteries are in use, small sulfate crystals form (as part of its reaction), normally this isn't a big deal, but during charge deprivation (long time with low voltage), the lead sulfate converts to a stable crystalline (solid) that deposits on the negative plates causing build up of large crystals (BAD). As the amount of large crystals build up on the plates, it will reduce the battery’s active material that is responsible for high capacity and low resistance.
