detroitdb Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 I just purchased a XS power S3100 to replace my starting battery. Also I did this to have all of my batteries to be AGM. At the same time I upgraded all my grounds and doubled up my charge wire from my alternator with 2 runs of 1/0. I am now charging at 15.18 V. Im happy with the improvement is 15V to much ? Just in case My Alternator is a Ohio Generator 275amp. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipP7rjav9cD9UFdAYBJmz4M4LoNlF26ng1xhAf4Uhttps://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipP7rjav9cD9UFdAYBJmz4M4LoNlF26ng1xhAf4U 2013 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T SUNDOWN ZV4-18 CRESCENDO 3.5K PIONEER AVIC 5300 NEX ALPINE TYPE R 6.5S & 6X9'S ROCKFORD FOSGATE 1.5" TWEETS 5 C&D TECH BATTS

Guest Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 colder weather charging that high isn't really great. warmer weather you can get away with higher voltages like that.

ChevyBoy95 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 if the 15 volt isn't causing any complications with the rest of your electrical system...id say you're good! more power is always better...right? wrong, more is not always better. 15v is about the MAX you would want on a 12v battery, and depending on the make, it can cause long term damage to some. edit: read fist post. posted by XS http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/124372-xs-power-battery-proper-charging-info/ "It is very important that proper charging techniques be used when charging XS Power batteries. XS Power batteries are designed for use with the XS Power battery chargers with a MAXIMUM output voltage of 2.4 volts per cell (14.4v for 12v batteries and 19.2v for 16v batteries). AT NO TIME during charging should the battery be subjected to more than 2.4 volts per cell. Voltages above this will cause the battery to “gas” and once the oxygen is vented it cannot be restored."
