tboorn Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 just for curoistitys sake, in B4L's decision for the battery bank when the car is off, given that we now know the system will require a 150ah-230ah load now, wouldnt the fast manner at which you are trying to draw all the potential amperage out of the batteries (1 hour) severaly reduce the amount of power they would be able to sustain. If we take a 100ah battery (like used in the answer) like the D2700, it has an RC rating of 185min, so 25 amps continuous for a little over 3 hours. If we factored it down to a 1 hour draw we would only see around 75 amps continuous (75ah), but since we are trying to discharge the power 3x faster the rated amount we could expect to see capacity loss of us to 40% since the rate at which you discharge directly affects the amount of power able to be drawn. So a 100ah battery may only be able to provide 50-60amps continuous for a 1 hour discharge(50ah-60ah). And that would be completely killing the battery, but the voltage Takedown504 would want is "good" which would be lost around 50% battery life mark as it is. So with that now potentially a rate 100ah battery falls to 25ah-35ah battery in term of real potential. I guess what im curious about is would it really be advisable to have 2 100ah batteries, or 3 80ah, and expect to draw almost 75% potential out of them and rely on them to not only last long enough to get his value out of them, but also to be able to start the car since they all will be wired in parallel with the front bat (and as said they become a draw themselves to the alt once drained they dont help charge) Quote Fidelity Built to Last Team Sound Asleep 24Runner Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/196657-24runner-sleeper-system-lots-of-fi-neo-dd-focal-new-video-w-juicebox-lithium/ 2 x 12" Fi BTL N2 / 2 x 12" Fi BTL N3 2 DD M3b Maxwell 2.7V 3000F Supercapacitors Pioneer DEH-80prs Focal P165 V30 components Rockford Fosgate T-400.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Only one component is needed to solve this problem and that is Tony. takedown504 should roll into Tony's shop tell him what his expectations are hand him a stack of cash and know he will get the result he is asking for.

snafu Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 B4L did in fact account for a bit of fudge factor here - at least enough for me to be satisfied with his answer. Really what I was looking for more than anything is the methodology the winner would take to arrive at the solution. [There really isn't an "exact" answer to such a question.] Peukert's Law governs what you're discussing and is something I learned of long after my days of installing car audio systems for a living were behind me (my installation career formally ended in 1997). Regardless, the exercise here was for everyone to learn a little something. Obviously, there is much to consider when designing a charging system to perform exactly as you require it to. I'm very impressed here that very little opinion was interjected into the answers. What can we all learn from that? What if we were to read just the first page of threads in the Electrical forum - would the discussions there also be equally free of opinion? Hmmm . . . Now that we've outlined it all in a thread, who's going to take it to the next level and build this system to prove / disprove B4L's answer? After all, isn't that what we're really after - real world solutions? B4L laid out the groundwork with an excellent hypothesis based off of what he's learned. Now, it's up to some SMD Member to prove it right or wrong. 1 Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!
