Dale Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 10V???!!! It's a good thing you have an alt. coming, or you might need an extra battery quick. When you receive your alt. make sure you do the 'big 3' upgrade with at least 1/0 wire. You want to use as much from the alt as possible. Good luck with the alt !! :^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernesto Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Damn 10v is pretty bad...You should be fine with your new alt and batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SyKo13 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Make sure your battery cells didn't go to shit, sometimes when it drops that low it tends to overstress the grid and crack cells. Try and give the batery a shake make sure it sounds solid and nothing lose in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SyKo13 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 A Vat-40 would hlp you a lot by turning the knob to enough load to where it would tel you exactly at how many amps the voltage drops to 10... Those things are useful if you know how to use em :^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
