mhuck123 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I go to a lot of competitions for cars other than just audio and I ALWAYS kill my batteries. I know there area chargers out there I can install in the car and plug into a standard wall socket but I don't know who makes the mobile version. A long time ago I saw a car that had one in CA&E magazine but it was years ago. any ideas, got a show coming up on Sept. 13th and with shipping plus the dollars needed I gotta get on it!

1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 This solar panel: http://www.amazon.com/Northern-Industrial-...1747&sr=8-2 I know it's big and powerful, but price per watt, they are the cheapest available on amazon. And this: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=38391 Both will help keep your batts fully charged.

Nice, I actually saw both those option when I was looking around but the unit I am looking for will let me WANG all day and not kill the battery. It plugs directly into a wall socket at shows and basically acts as the alternator. The car that had it had a little door under the car and you just plugged it in. I've seen chargers on the kinetik site but I can't tell if they are what I'm looking for.... Quote Starting From Scratch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I suggest adding a second or third battery. Unless you don't have the money. I have never seen chargers larger than 100 amps. How much power are you running?

I have never seen chargers larger than 100 amps.How much power are you running? Not much, about 3000 watts plus lighting in the box and car lights etc. It needs to run for 10 hours. I know they make it I just don't know the name Quote Starting From Scratch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) So you need a charger that outputs between 250 and 500 amps. That's a lot of power. I'll keep searching, but I've never seen one. Does anyone else know? Sorry I can't answer your question. Unless you want to buy a dozen of these: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17672_...+KHC+3800-.html LOL, j/k.

Seems easier than a 500 amp charger! Even in the article they didn't make a big deal about it like it was common. Quote Starting From Scratch!!

Guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 get a bigger alt? to help? dual alt setup? as long as your car is running it wont kill your batts any more x2, you can just use one of those regular battery chargers that output 10a or so to keep the batt's topped off. but there is no need for a +100amp charger imo.
