newls1 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 As most of you know what my install consists of, here is something I found out today, it may be normal, it may NOT be normal, but im asking anyways. With truck OFF, my voltage at front batt is ~12.72, however voltage at rear buss bar is 12.62..........A WHOLE .10 drop!! is this normal? I can maybe guess that the power has to run thru all the fuses, which may in turn create resistance maybe??? However with truck ON, voltage up front reads 15.75 and rear buss bars read 15.68...... So less of a difference with truck on, then off.... Quote I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny
Guest Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 i vote for wire resistance. seems totally normal to me Quote
arnold1992 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 yeah resistance and depend on length of wire too btw you got vidz of your setup? Quote RE se xxx 18d2 (4) Audioque 2200 (2) DC Power 270XP blue 3 C&D fr310 Stinger wiring CDT components
newls1 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Posted December 20, 2009 i vote for wire resistance. seems totally normal to me but .10 of a drop? I'm not using 20Ft plus per run though. My power runs are like 12-13ft in length, which isnt long by any means....... I would think resistance shouldnt be that bad. Quote I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny

I would think resistance shouldnt be that bad. thats not too bad,i know someone who has 1 more volt extra from the front batt than the rear..

BulletInjection Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Yeah that is normal. it is only .1 off. Quote My build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...8920&st=100 http://www.youtube.com/Bulletinjection
newls1 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Posted December 20, 2009 Yeah that is normal. it is only .1 off. no, it is .10 off.... Like I said in my first post, this may in fact be normal, but I wanted to ask anyways. Quote I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny
arnold1992 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 no, it is .10 off.... Like I said in my first post, this may in fact be normal, but I wanted to ask anyways. Lol .10 and .1 is the same bro Quote RE se xxx 18d2 (4) Audioque 2200 (2) DC Power 270XP blue 3 C&D fr310 Stinger wiring CDT components

BulletInjection Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Lol .10 and .1 is the same bro tehehe. Yeah .1 is 100% fine but with large battery banks you need to remember to charge them every so often or you will start to see a larger gap in voltage. When the car is running you voltage will sway .1 just back and forth because some computers up the rpm's with high current draws like in my jeep when the bass hits my engine will rev up more to compensate for the current draw Quote My build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...8920&st=100 http://www.youtube.com/Bulletinjection
