Mrbubbles00482 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) I have 3 Kinetik HC2000's My old boss at the shop has 2 Turbo start S16v batteries with the charger. Batts are floating at 15.71 apiece, and the charger is fully functional. I don't need the HC2000's anymore, but I'm about to start buying for my 16v system. What you guys think, straight trade no cash. Edited June 23, 2009 by Mrbubbles00482 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 load test the batts first just to make sure they are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrbubbles00482 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 load test the batts first just to make sure they are good How would I go about doing that? They should be good, they are brand new not wired to a car yet, just been on the charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Not too long ago you could pick up those turbo start 16volt batts for like $75 brand new. Depending on what you paid for the Kinetik's it's a bad trade imo.

DownSouthCustom Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Those Kinetiks go for about 150 a piece I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treossi Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 if they load test fine, then it's up to you, you should find out what those batts are going for, i know your kinetiks are pretty expensive, so id go off price, i know you want 16 volt batts, but it may not be worth it, and also find the price of the charger as well Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those have been sitting at 15.7 volts for long, they are probably pretty sulfated and might not have much life left.

Depending on what you paid for the Kinetik's it's a bad trade imo. Cheapest I can find them is 219 from axion power. Those Kinetiks go for about 150 a piece I think. My boss can get the HC2000's at dealer cost for 210. So he won't take but about 170 or 180 for my batts because they are used and not under warrenty anymore (i think, gotta check on that) if they load test fine, then it's up to you, you should find out what those batts are going for, i know your kinetiks are pretty expensive, so id go off price, i know you want 16 volt batts, but it may not be worth it, and also find the price of the charger as well I bought my Kinetiks for 250, they turbo starts for for 220, and the charger for 299. 16 volt batts should rest at 17.2 volts. If those have been sitting at 15.7 volts for long, they are probably pretty sulfated and might not have much life left. Ya..Like I said they have never been hooked up to an 18v+ alt to charge, just the charger. He ordered them for a guy, and when they got here the guy figured out he had to have a bigger alt and then didn't want the batteries. Ways to check for this? Load test? (don't know how to go about doing that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 15.7v float = 1.9625v/cell Would you buy a 12v battery that was floating at 11.775? DEFINITELY load test them. Dunno if your local autoparts store will be able to help you here, they mightn't like the 16v-ness. Also the charger is obviously not doing its job if they're floating that low. Try and get a charge on them, then hook an amp up to one and play a tone (you'll need a woofer connected to get an accurate result) while watching the voltage at the inputs. They may need a charge at 20v+ to kinda kick-start them. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
