THEKINGsBACK Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 So I got my xs charger on Tuesday and decided to charge up my batteries.. Read the book 4 times to make sure I under stood everything and the I hooked it up.. Had a volt meter attached to keep a eye on things then I went back out side like 2 hrs later and it was a solid green light.. Indicating that it had been completely charged.. Well what throws me off is that the battery sits at 12.75 now... After a fresh charge is that a lil low or did everything go accordingly.. Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljestrand Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Did you recondition or just charge? 12.75 is normal afaik but sometimes you can "train" a battery to sit a little higher. Usually around 13.1 ish.

SnowDrifter Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Discharge/charge a couple times My d1400 would sit at 14.8 after a full charge. I drained/charged it 2 times and now it sits at 15.2 Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Turn your car to "run" but don't turn it on Flip on your lights/fogs/interior vents/defroster. Anything that drains power Take the battery down to 10.5-11v range then immediately put it on the charger. They key is to not let the battery sit Edited May 18, 2013 by SnowDrifter Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 You'll want a bigger charger I wouldn't suggest turning on your car to charge the battery either Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
