chapo123 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 also fyi to peeps.. i never had to calibarte my meter.. i check with dmm and it was reading exactly what my meter said.. bought it bnib too. Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 seems like you have a parasitic load or something. that would sure explain how your stock battery died so fast and how you think your current ones may be dying. no you dont need a battery isolator unless you want your alternator to die off faster and unless you play your system with the car off for extended periods of time.

General Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Maybe a silly question, but it seems you guys are only interrested in the V... How do you guys measure the A ? Or to make it a bit more difficult, How do you measure the CCA? And i am not talking about the avarage stock battery (since we are all into caraudio).... (for example: 12V, 100A, 3500CCA) I am curious! ______Some people and performances are beyond words______ Chairman of the foundation "Propper-Droppers Holland" 2012 Founder of the European delegation of `Propper-Droppers' 2011 Dutch Champion EMMA SQ MultiMedia advanced 2010 European Champion EMMA SQ experienced 5 channel 2007 Dutch Champion EMMA SQ experienced 5 channel 2007 BeNeLux vice Champion dB-drag street-A 2007 Dutch vice Champion dB-drag ministreet-sedan 2004 _________________________________________ Propper Droppers is about deep, ground wobbling, elephant-and-whale stimulating Street Bass.

Guest Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 What's a parasitic load http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_load basically something that is drawing enough current to lower your battery voltage when its not supposed to when the car is off.

Guest Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 if i recall correctly you put a clamp meter on the + wire when the car is off and check for excessive current draw. sorry but i totally forget what the "safe" amount of draw is.
