Will a 2nd batt help me or hurt me?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well set-up is in my sig... At max after I get a better 4 channel amp I'll be running roughly 2500rms.As of right now I have a stock ass NAPA battery in front with a stock 100amp alt and a big 3 upgrade in 0g.

Now My question is if I add a Kinetik HC 800 is that gonna help my electrical or hurt it? I will add more in the future along with a H.O. alt and such. Car right now idles at 14.6v at start up or after running for a few hours.

Also, if I did add this Kinetik batt and added a MLA module at 15.3v will that help even more?

But a 2nd batt would pull amps to recharge itslef wouldn't it? I know my amp is way to much for the stock electrical but I'm just curious as to if a Kinetik HC 800 will help stiffen the stock system

On my old truck I added a second batt and before at 2k rpm my voltage was dropping to 11 or so and after I could keep it around 13

those hc800 are surprisingly strong,i had one in my trunk and a yellow top under the hood made a big difference.but what you probably need more than a battery is ho alt.a battery in the trunk wouldn't hurt tho.

Adding that HC 800 won't hurt your setup, they pull a lot less amps to recharge than you think they pull.
