littleitaly1990 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Long story short, I have two batteries, 1 walmart battery that is 2 years old with a 3 year warranty, and 1 xs power d680 in the back. My car is starting, but having a lot of trouble doing so. I would next to guarantee that the walmart battery is dead and the d680 is taking over the role, but I am at my moms house with no tools or anything to check voltage. Does anyone know how good the walmart replacement plan is? Also does anyone think this could be something else? As soon as it starts up, which it does each time, it fires right up and my alt has no problem taking over....help? Quote A vitrolic, megalomaniacal sadistic psychopath.

E-Train Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I would try taking it to a local auto parts store and getting them to check your resting voltage after disconecting the rear battery, if its normal, then it may be your starter, mine started doing that on my tacoma, it would start but it acted like it was weak and didnt wanna turn over the engine. Advance, autozone etc.. should be able to check your starter, alternator, and battery. Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 im not sure, but may be the difference in resistance btw the 2 batts is causing this. theres probably less resistance to the xs battery you have in the rear, so your alternator may be charging that b4 you walmart battery upfront. causing your car to do w/e its doing.

littleitaly1990 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) went to Advanced auto and a good looking audio shop...both are telling me the d680 is dead...fucking sucks...guess I need to buy a few xs power batteries soon I'm thinking a d2700 or biggest that will fit up front, d680 where my other one is, and another big batt in back.
