Charging batteries while in car


Recommended Posts

No, I drive it every day, but I always play my system full tilt when I drive it, and sometimes even when its off. My voltage at idle used to be 14.6, and now its 12.9 so I need something done I think

As long as its above 12.6v, your batts should still be charging up.

That's the thing, when I go to start my car, voltage has dropped usually to 11.76 recently so it doesn't want to start
