12v or 16v batteries?


Recommended Posts

Please excuse the noob question, but What's the difference in 12v and 16v batteries? Besides the obvious answer:4 volts! I see 16 volt batteries available. Wouldn't they be better to run since voltage is so important? I'm about to put in a MMATS. 3000.1 and I'm buying batteries. Just trying to figure this out and get it right the first time! 2001 eclipse

Run 12v. 16v batteries need to be charged at 18.5v+

Which would fry most things in your car.


If you want less voltage drop upgrade the alt

That answers my question. Thanks drifter! U seem to know ur shit. You've helped me a lot in the last week or so. I've about got this thing figure out as far as the amp and electrical go. When it comes time to do subs I'll be back asking more stupid questions! Lol
