Most likely you need to charge it. Charging is imperative. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 How much current is going to your rear battery as you're measuring that voltage difference? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1point21gigawatts Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I was just thinking, a cell in that battery might have gone bad. Or maybe the battery is just discharged like shit. Either way, disconnect it and then go get a battery charger and charge it and find out if it just discharged or damaged. To be safe disconnect it ASAP until you diagnose the problem with that battery. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfkncar Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 That's about a 2% drop from front to rear, 15ft of copper (not cca) 1/0 would need to pull 100A to hit that, its possible you have a bad connection,bad battery or insufficient/low quality wiring. If all batteries sit at 12.7v+, I would inspect the wiring from front to rear, if the drop is linear from front to rear, the cable simply can't handle your needs. Hopefully its just a simple hot spot somewhere (bad crimp,fuse holder ect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
