I think they are modded kinetiks or something ive been wondering the same thing Assman has them in his van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwigglezdj Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 ill look for more info , but ive seen some batts that have one termianl, for 12 v use and then another terminal for 16 v use.... let me see if i can find it.. cause i know nothing on how lol Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? http://www.batteriesareus.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=9180http://www.16vbatteries.com/ not that im saying to buy from the V battery, because i am not lol... Thanks but I won't be buying any from them either... Talk about sticker shock... Quote If you build it, db's will come...

sully Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Kinetik batteries have a 12v post and a 16v post. To break it down, each cell is 2v and when you run 6 cells you have 12v, if you want 16v then slap 2 more on the end of the battery. The 12v post is at the point in the battery that 12v output occurs, the 16v terminal is at the end of the row of cells. You will need to charge the battery as if it was a 16v battery. Stock charging systems won't work. Externally regulated alternator at around 18.4-6 volts is what you need.

SPL2K Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Externally regulated alternator at around 18.4-6 volts is what you need. actually 20.664 is ideal. .....but an even 20 will work.

missinglink Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 actually 20.664 is ideal. .....but an even 20 will work. 16v batts are really 16.9v they need around 2.6 to 2.8volts per cell to reach a full charge. The 16.9v has 7 cells so @ 19.6 you would receive a full charge. The only way to get a 16v set up is the 16.9 volt batteries. I run 13 kinetics 2400 (12v) @ a charging voltage of 16-16.2 (15.8v when hot) but my amps see 15volt & batteries lose around 1 volt or more than this @ rest. My batteries rest @ 13.5 to 14 pending on how hard I run for daily. After you take into consideration this loss my 12v set up is holding @ 14..7 while slammin. Newer cars are limiting your alternators voltage to less than 14v. Cause for low charge and voltage drops. Thank you, MLA Quote missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.

We can achieve the same 15.5 to 24v or more if needed set point on internally regulated alts. Externally regulated alts will not perform any better than the internal one.
