yanzi Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hi, I'm having a problem with an Autocraft Titanium battery bought 1 month ago. In the first days worked very good, and one night i was playing a song and i was starting to experience huge voltage drops and my amplifiers turned to protection due to extremely low voltage with the car on. Later, the battery started to drop voltage slowly when the car was off and died. The weird thing is that the same thing happened to my last battery too. I was thinking that could be my "20 farad" Power Acoustik Capacitor because it was set to the max in the voltage adjust gain and i was having 15.9v. I only have one battery and my stock alternator. I have one SoundStream Picasso (PCA1000D) Class D Monoblock and one Power Acoustik 1200w max 4ch. Any suggestions and/or opinions please reply. Thanks.

yanzi Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 So what can i do, remove the cap or lower the voltage adjust gain level, how about 14.4v maximum? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 adjusting the voltage on the cap has nothing to do with it. sometimes the cap dont read the exact voltage that the battery puts out. thats why theres usually a little blue screw on them. you get a dmm and get the voltage off of your battery, then adjust the cap to that voltage so its the same. thats the only thing that that is used for.

bassmachine Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 lower the voltage on that battery first of all and see if it flows right.i guess the cap is ok.

bassmachine Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 thats wat i meant. sorry i didnt say that.isnt that bad to have that much voltage on a battery :rip_1: Quote Windows Xp1 40 & 120gigHDDMSI BoardUNDERCONSTRUCTION Dr. Doom aka StarScream3kDestruction at ur service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 thats wat i meant. sorry i didnt say that.isnt that bad to have that much voltage on a battery :rip_1: what voltage? a battery produces voltage with the help of an alternator.

yanzi Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 you think the cap killed my old two batteries with the cap voltage gain adjusted to the max (15.9v) ? because the cap can be adjusted lowering it's voltage gain. I'm a little confused :-X Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
