missinglink Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 so you would say my best bet is to just go uo to advanced, or a local car electric shop and let them look at the alt and my battery That depends. If it is a 1986 Yugo, you should probably just push it off a cliff... Check the BATTERY voltage with the engine off. If you do not have a DMM or other test type meter, then you are going to be at the mercy of the autoparts store. You are talking about adding batteries anyway, so buying a new battery is not a big deal. Start with a good deep cycle / cranking type marine battery. Since you are going cheap, go to Walmart, and get one of those MAx 65 type batteries - about 80 bucks. 'Link missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.

'Link i took it to a alt/electric specialist, and he said the battery is good, and the alt is charging it. he unplugged the alt, and the noise stopped. but the noise, and the dead battery might be from a bad diode. what would this mean? i need a new alt? im gonna let him look at it tomorrow in the morning. on the way back my amps quit working Clarion ProAudio VRX755VD Infinity Perfects 6.1-front Infinity Perfects 5.1 -rear Infinity REF7541A 3 Kicker S15L7D2 Kicker ZX1500.1 Kicker ZX750.1 Pair of Memphis tweets ] New Build In The Works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thacarter546 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'm not quite sure what he did, but it sounds like your alt is bad. shouldnt be terribly expensive to have someone rewind it or buy a 200 amp delco from advance. And a good sealed type battery is not cheap. Your pretty much looking at Kinetik, Odyssey, Powermaster, Deka, or Optima batteries. You could run multiple yellow or blue tops, but your looking at about four of those for the power your running and thatd be close to 800. Kinetik, odyssey, or powermaster are also pretty expensive. I cant remember the store, but someone was selling the huge deka the one that outperformed a kinetik 2400 for around 240 shipped. and there was a group buy on roe for em.

BigPimpin91 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 it cranked after i charged the battery. when i hooked the negative back up to the battery after i installed my cd player, it sparked. which the negative shouldnt spark, right? but that was like a week agoYour wire is sparking because You are putting a charge back into everything.Same thing happens when I unhook my battery to mess with my amp. It's just charging the caps in the amp back up. BigPimpin91's Banging Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
