GassenD Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Posted January 4, 2015 I know the resting voltage of my battery is 12.7-12.8.. Wires seemed fine going back to my amp, nothing changed there other than not having my 2nd battery back there..

GassenD Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 The only other thing I could think of is that I removed my 2nd battery ground to engine block when I put my 2nd battery up front since the battery was bigger it didn't really fit well.. Could this be an issue since I still have my positive alt to positive on the battery but no BIG ground going from engine to battery? I'm puzzled at what is going on in this situation..

SLYentist Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 the ground from chassis to engine is often times the ground for the starter motor and alternator/s. Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do.
GassenD Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 Hmmm, so by putting that ground back that could solve my problem? Or does it sound like an alternator problem.

SLYentist Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 start with the things that are relatively inexpensive to fix: belt slip, ground straps, and electrical connections Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do.
islandpride684 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Could I try the whole start the vehicle, then pull off the terminal on the battery post and see if the alternator goes to a regular charging voltage, if it does then it's just my battery correct? Or is that extremely frowned upon..If you want to fk up some more shit then do it, there are proper ways of checking it then that method...so no...http://www.w8ji.com/battery_and_charging_system.htm Build Log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186921-blk9te-07-yukon-slo-mo-build/page-3?hl=%2Bblk9te#entry2881410
Bump4life Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 i would replace belt if you havent done so. then run 1 battery at a time. 13.5 isnt that bad if parked and idling and alt gets heated. but in winter one would thinkg it wouldnt heat soak so fast. id test all your bats. 1 bad bat can start to bring the others down as well Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

GassenD Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah I pulled my front battery I could instantly tell that one was bad, so I'm running only on my other battery. I'm just not sure if my battery is actually getting any charge. Yeah I show charging voltage but every morning I need to get a jump and every night after work.
