Bobby32 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 Down here in Texas its blazing hot all day. I've already noticed a drop in voltage right off the bat when I start my car. Im usually like 14.3, but with the heat im at like 13.8 :/ Anyone else having this problem? I miss the winters when it was freezing and I was at nearly 15v Quote
Beanz Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah electricity does that..its electricitys worst enemy HEAT... Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

memphisBred Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) It's pretty much 90+ everyday when I get off. In the mornings it's 75-78 and I stay at 14.3-14.4. In the heat of the day when I leave work, I start at 14.4 for a min, then 14.3 for a min, 14.2 for about 5 min, then see 14.0 the rest of the drive. It's normal for your voltage to drop a little bit as the car warms up. I have never had a nice alt/extra batteries in the winter, so hopefully I'll get to experience the 15.0 volts on the Stinger meter.

Bobby32 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Posted May 31, 2010 little better than me. Ive got stock alt, stock under-hood battery, and a big 134ah c&d in the back. Quote
memphisBred Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 All the voltage readings I listed were at idle. I stay at 14.4 while driving. Your voltage readings are at idle aren't they? Quote SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow
Bobby32 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Posted May 31, 2010 yeah at idle, like 13.9-14.0 driving at the end of the day, after bumpin' all day.. Quote
audiofanaticz Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 No problem with mine, seems to stay at 14.8 to 15.1 very consistantly! Quote
