Big 3 With Voltage Drop


Recommended Posts

So I recently completed the Big 3 well the Big 2 being that i didn't have enough wire or terminals. So I ran a 4 gauge stinger wire from my alt to my battery positive and two 8 gauge stinger wires from my engine block ground to my battery negative. It went well for a week or so and today I noticed my voltage that was at 13.7-14.1 is now at 12.4-12.7 I don't know why my voltage is dropping now. I am running a stock 90 amp alternator thats why i don't have a fuse inline with my power wire from alt to batt. I don't think my batt voltage should drop from high 13s to mid 12s even with a big 3 and i'm running a small 200 watt amp.

Maybe the connection at the alt loosened up so check that and all other connections and make sure they are tight and clean, if that hasn't solved the problem then have the alt checked out. Make sure the alt belt isn't slipping either.

Now I don't know if it could be bad but my battery is wet cell and not AGM. I'm trying to sell my Shuriken BT20 so I can save up to get a Xs Power or the Shuriken biggest battery out now.
