So how can i get those 24v to my amp

[djjdnap 78]

what would it take a Capacitor?

Or another battery in series?

[djjdnap 78]

i didnt really mean 24v just 18+

To my understanding if you want to get over 14 or 15 volts you will need a seperate charging system so as not to fry the existing electronics in your car.

Nick or Ryan would be the prople to ask. I will do some research and post what I find.

batteries wired in series will do it. But I think you then need to get an alt that charges at that voltage as well.

Hydraulic lifts use batteries wired in series to obtain crazy voltage amounts.

For just burping, I would go with a multiple battery series/parallel setup. If looking to integrate this into the current vehicle, well, it can be done, but not worth the trouble IMO.

You would need either a separate charging system for each electrical system and/or some form of isolation between the two. The common electronics on your vehicle will not adapt well to voltages above 15V. And that is pushing it.

What ryan said.

Wire them series'd for burps, independant of the car's system. then charge with an external charger. OR You could rewire them to parrellel to charge off alt.

For daily? Parrellel them female dogs to 12vdc. 24vdc NOT worht it.

AMATURES !

Turbo start 12/16V battery

But yoiu would have to get a 16-17V alt

^^^Turbos maybe hard to get, because they are soo backed up, and may be going out of business from what I hear.

[djjdnap 78]

hmmm, do they make any diodes that would sustain that much?

Because a diode basiclly lets voltage run through it but acts as a short coming back out of it. So i could put the diode in between the two batteries.

to keep the excess voltage from going back into the cars electrical system.

When i drove my soon to be navigator, it read that it was ruunning at 16-7 volts.

also wouldn't running another batt in parallel for daily just give me more time to run my amp wt the car off?

[djjdnap 78]

wait does a diode stop voltage or just current..hmmm

gotta search now.

[djjdnap 78]

i guess they do, all the sites says is electricity.lol

in a sense, yeah....

same voltage, double the amperage (reserve capacity) IIRC...

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Supa_c 1]

Thats what diesel trucks do.

You would have to be careful of the heat that it would create correct?

[Tirefryr 1,742]

They do make diodes that would handle what you need, however, their size would not make them feasible for an application such as this. IMO, this is just a waste of time unless you are competing.

As for the Navigator, be aware of that voltage guage as many of Ford Motor COmpany's guages are slightly off. Put a meter on it to see where you're really running. THe voltage regulator should NOT be putting out anymore than 15.1 volts. If it is, you have a problem.

I havent had any superheating problems or anything in the multi-batt installs that I've run before..

I was asking

I thought if you add restriction to volts, amps, and or current it would cause heat. With adding the diode, I would think that it would heat up with it traping the extra. Like I stated I am asking. Help me learn too.

Oh... I cant read. LoL - I thought You were talking about a straight parrellel setup, sorry.

Yes, You are right... You have to run a diode or resistor that's rated for (or series of them to achieve total rating) the amperage & voltage.
