JesseyMclame Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 Okay, heres a list of my gear, and my issues. 260A mechman alt, 1 run of 1/0, 3 grounds in 1/0 - Chassis, frame, engine 1/0 run from alt to positive batt Brand new deka intimidator deep cycle up front, two brand new 91 ah batts in back. batts in back grounded to chassis. all grounds are perfect. all connections are soldered. On cold start, everything charges at 14.2. after it warms up, rear batts sit charging at 13.6-13.8, front alt and batt still at 14.1. what could posssssibly be the issue. Im stumped. oh and car off, everthing sits at 13.1. Current setup in my 96 Hoe Hu - Pioneer DEH-80prs.

LoudBimmer Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 it should be charging at 14.1 everywhere.
JesseyMclame Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Posted October 20, 2013 Sorry I'm on mobile but N8, it's a 2000 s-10 with a 4.3.

ChevyBoy95 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 it should be charging at 14.1 everywhere. no, there is ALWAYS voltage drop across cables. with no load, charging 14.1 up front, 13.9 and up is ok. Anything lower and you might have some dirty grounds, or something of the sort causing voltage loss. Could be long cables as well.

SnowDrifter Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 .6v front to back drop with no load is NOT normal. You shouldn't even have .1v drop in this scenario to be honest Op, do you have a multi meter? How are you measuring your voltages? ~~~~~~~~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

SnowDrifter Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 Start working your way down the wire. Pre fuse, post fuse, midpoint of the wire - you can poke the probes through the insulation. Measure at your rear batts, but instead of putting the negative probe to the negative post on the batteries, put it to the chassis or some other ground ~~~~~~~~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
