CaptainzPlanetz Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 The only way to charge a 16 Volt battery is with a 16 volt alternator, your regular alt wont charge that battery as your peak charging voltage is about 14 volts or so with a standard 12V system alt, the only way you would be able to use it would be for comps for a burp, then between runs you would have to have a 16 Volt battery charger to charge it back up, so the only way you are gonna be able to run that battery daily is if you get a 16 Volt alternator.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 ^^^^^^^^ Most of the time it is just inexperience, if I were to see that before I became more knowledgeable in the car audio world, I would of thought hey this 16 Volt battery will give more power to my amps, while this is true, I probably wouldnt think that I needed a 16 Volt alt or battery charger to charge it. To the OP I would say get another battery, but hold on to that battery if you are gonna do any DB Drag as you can use it for short burps and get a little more voltage to your amp, you will have to buy a 16 volt charger to use it for comps(if you do comps), but it will be much cheaper than getting a 16 Volt alt.

raytard Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 so yes, you need a 16v alt to charge your pile, and either another 12v one to run your car (along with an entirely separate electrical system) or a high amperage sepdown module to step 16 to 12 for the vehicle Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
