Silver Member Username: FrkkevinDenton, Texas US Post Number: 335 Registered: Nov-05 | ^^ not enough amperage at idle .. get h/o alt of an extra battery.. or save money and don't crach it till your rpm is up |

Silver Member Username: HalterPaulding, Ohio Post Number: 175 Registered: Oct-05 | hmm.... well... whast weird though is my battery meter dont move at all..always on 14volts and it still shuts off...?? would that matter at all? |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 3800 Registered: Apr-05 | The alt volt meter on the instrument cluster? It's a fairly bad indicator of what the voltage is in my opinion. Either way, yeah, your idle amperage is being exceeded. |

Silver Member Username: HalterPaulding, Ohio Post Number: 181 Registered: Oct-05 | hmmm..how could i prevent this alittle cheaper way then H.O. Alternator...them are pretty salty aren't they?? |
|
Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 460 Registered: Jun-04 | there is no cheaper way .... get a smaller amp that pulls less amperage |
|
Silver Member Username: HalterPaulding, Ohio Post Number: 186 Registered: Oct-05 | TA HELL WITH THAT...lol hmmm... soo what do u consider..and if I get this HO alternator..will I be able to run 2 amps or how much more difference will there be? |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4591 Registered: Oct-05 | what kinda system are we talking about here? |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 342 Registered: Jan-06 | just get an extra yellowtop optima battery that solve all your problems it takes from the battery there anyways when the alternator is exceeded so really an extra battery is all that is needed |
|
Silver Member Username: HalterPaulding, Ohio Post Number: 188 Registered: Oct-05 | I have a 15" mojo with a Hifonics 1606D amp running it..everytime at a idle if I got over 30 she goes into shuts off!..at high RPMS though..shes all good!! |
