Voltage regulation questions


Recommended Posts

Iim not needing to charge any better, because it charges fine right now. It's more of just an OCD thing, I just like seeing it sitting at around 14.3 consistently on start up. But is there a problem if when it's really hot after multiple startups, it's falling that low? And the 13.1 is only around idle, it'll bump back up to 13.4

You can't just but a knob that will get you 14.4 all day.

Unless your system is small. Then. That said. Run it a 13v and don't worry about it.

Netting 1 volt to you won't do shit.

Get it?

Yeah, ahh well thanks for the help. So when do you need one?

runniing 16, 18 volt...

EDIT- buuuuuuut.. you still need the bank... to take it..

If your seeing low voltage when you "lean on it"..... turning a knob up... wont do anything...

UNLESS you have the capabiitly, and the bank....... just rolling the knob up to 15v... wont do anythying when your asking for amperage

understand?
