Multiple Mixed Batteries


Recommended Posts

well as of right now i have a stock alt with 2 kinetik 600s and a yellowtop up front running my T40001bd :eek:

would it be ok to add 2 powermaster D925s and add it to all that. i know "lower batteries" will drain off "higher batteries" while just sitting there so i was wondering if it would be recommended to mix those or not. i asked mechman and trust his opinion when he gets back to me but i would like to have more input on it

i am kinda wondering this myself. i've heard so many mixed opinons on it that i'm not sure on one or another. i also read that lower batteries will NO drain out higher ones. so yeah...i'm curious too because i have 3 wal mart batteries i wanna run with my powermaster battery until i can get more powermasters. if i have the room that is.

I, as well, belong to the mismatched bandwagon.

I know in Radio Control hobbies, one is not supposed to mix MaH batteries.

But not sure if it is as important in vehicles.

If you're going to pay for two 925s, cant you get one 3100? I don't see why you cant tie em all together

space could be a possible issue. i was going to try to fit 3 tiny tiny ones under the hood, then fit 3+ more in the back, but got a lil bigger one cuz of the price, now i gotta figure a way to fit them in the back :P

resting volt is what matters the most

so if your resting volts are about the same you will be fine

even if they are not the same you will be ok but when you park your lowest volt batts will try to pull the voltage of the other bateries down to its voltage. not dead but down to the lowest voltage batt .

so you can mix any ma batt you want as long as the voltage matches.

this is because in car audio we conect them in parralell.

if we used them in series like in rc car usage the voltage can varry but the ma must be the same

or when being disscharged if the ma varries too much, the batt with the lowest ma will run out before the other batts and then actualy have its charge reversed<verry bad for its life span>

then when charged the low batt wont fully charge

then when discharged again it runs out even sooner and reverses even harder doing even more damage.

batts in series are only as strong as there weakest link .

this came out pretty convoluted <long night at work>

if you need me to put it into english i will try
