--Navi-- Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 We used to charge our optimas til the top started melting, wasnt good for their lifespan but it sure helped out scores in Street max. ID venture to say you over charged them, and they might not be completely shot but id go ahead and start shopping for some new batts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamenNoodles Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 might want to contact stinger and MLA about this problem... Im sure they can give you some insight into this.

missinglink Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Is it possible that because they were charged with a dedicated alternator and MLA module for 2 weeks straight with only 400 watts max of draw that they were over charged? If this "dedicated alternator" setup had the batteries connected to the slave alternator, with no voltage reference to the master alternator, then yes you have been overcharging your batteries. Multiple alternators should be connected to ALL of the batteries in the bank. Sharing the load between all of the alternators and batteries in the system is the only way a dual alternator MLA module should be hooked up. Clean your batteries with baking soda & water to get rid of the acid that vented. Check the resting voltage after they have cooled off. A 4 gauge jumper wire between the two alternator output studs is recomended if you have seperate batttery banks. 'Link Quote missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.

Owners1 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 baking soda and water? hmm, i am for sure gonna go try that, thanks. it makes sense though =x Quote Hummer H2 ( Crossfire XS V2 15's (4) Crescendo Audio BC 5500s (16) Crescendo 6.5's, (16) Crescendo Tweeters, (4) Beyma 8" Midrange http://www.youtube.com/Owners1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missinglink Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) baking soda and water? hmm, i am for sure gonna go try that, thanks. it makes sense though =x When running multi alt set ups we use your cars voltage reference as our guide. So by doing 1 alt to car and 1 alt for sub amp/batteries then the sub/amp batteries have no reference point to go off of and will run 17/18/19v because its "kinda" unregulated. Your front battery / alt sences car draw with the reference point then the 2nd alt sees the same draw/load without a responce back from the car. So all it sees is a load demand and runs wide open pretty much. We can do split system set ups as well they are our "Stand Alone" modules , which in these units we build the reference point into the module. Hope this helps a little more, Chris@ MLA Edited December 15, 2008 by missinglink Quote missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.
