Extra batt?
|
Silver Member Username: Philly306North carolina Post Number: 349 Registered: Apr-07 | ok well i've researched it myself and asked a few people but have gotten mixed results. i have a 90A alt. and i will have big 3 soon. but my question is if i want to run 1500rms can i put a hc1800 in the back and be done with it? and will it effect my alt? i know i should get an HO alt but if i can do it with just a batt it would be a whole lot cheaper. opinions are appreciated |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6466 Registered: Nov-04 | For all those that say dimming lights can be fixed with extra battery, read this. It's from Kinetikaudio.com's site. "I bought a Kinetik Power Cell and my lights are dimming again, why? You may want to have a professional check your alternator and charge then load test the starting battery. Adding more power will only temporarily fix the problem if your alternator is not charging the system. " |

Silver Member Username: Philly306North carolina Post Number: 356 Registered: Apr-07 | im not being cheap but if i can run 1500rms by only buying a batt then i would want to do that. the only price quote ive gotten do far for a 170A alt was $640. im still waiting to here from a couple of others that i know will be cheaper but i just wanted to see if i could do it with just a batt. thanks for your input rob. (but you don't have to be so mean) |

Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 856 Registered: Mar-07 | Phil, I have been running an extra battery for months. It will actully help you. But while you have it, I would start putting money back for an HO alt, because if your stock alt ever goes out, it gives you an excuse to buy one. |

Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1704 Registered: Sep-06 | extra batt acts as a buffer, and a lil trick that really helps is if you get a batt charger and do a 2 amp trickle charge twice a week or so. it will help your power porblems, but it is not a fix for an insuffienct charging system |
