ChevyBoy95 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) What are the real differences as far as 12v systems go. 9k does 9k at 14.4 10k does 10k at 14.4 I keep getting people to tell me not to get 9k's because they are "meant" for higher voltage. I know they can perform well in the 14v/16v/18v systems, but what makes them bad for 12v?

MrSkippyJ Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I thought the 10k was rated at 12v Looks like I was wrong!
