help with batteries

can i got some batteries from my buddy of mine
and there the 16v kinetik battery...

problem: how do i hook them up both to run 16v? and do i ground both one and not the other
because its connect to the black term.?

can some draw something for my dumbass.. first time doing this and dont wanna catch my car on fire...

Let me ask moon or joe labato they both know and I will let you know asap

I do multiple grounds to a buss bar and do the same for the positive

Chris nice setup

ok ??? thats looks complex...

ok right now im short in time to make or buy these coll looking bars..
this is a drawing that i think its right but im not 100% sure if it is...
do i hook everything together?
or is this drawing good???? as for wires im going to use welding leads.. i think they will work great..<br>

well for one thing ya need to charge them with a 16v alt.....

Lol or charge them with a 16 volt battery charger everyday like I do

Unless you have a 16 volt alt. Dont tie it in to the front.

you can wire the 12v side to charge like this, and it will bring the 16v side up as well, but not fully supply enough amperage this way to fully re-charge the 16v side of them


some people say if you use the 16v side dont use the 12v side at the same time because it doesnt work right or some Dung Pile


i have used them both ways myself, and the 12v side of the battery is the smallest side internally so it drains quickly, and then pulls amperage from the 16v side then.

my race car has one of these in it i run the cars electrical system off the 12v side charging it, and my fuel pump is wired to the 16v side for better voltage and more output from it.

so can someone draw it out for me? i would be grateful

its ez man use the 12v battery for the car


take the 2 16v batts buss bar the 16v negatives togather, and the 16v positives togather

16v+ to the amp +
16v- to the amp -

then also ground the 16v- to the chassy of the vehicle somewhere

oh ok...
does anyone know where i can get a external reg. alt??
then if i wanna recharge these then go to the 12v side right?

are you trying to drive this and listen to it dailey?????????????

i think so ......thats why i said needs a 16v alt..... run car off the 12v side and front bat and the amp off the 16v side ..of the rear bats ....

well depending on how much he drives man the alt wont last long for daily driving


he is living on a fine thin line of competing and a dailey driver. its hard to have both

Wow, i never knew those 16v batteries had a 12v tap 2 cells over, neat. Anyways, i would 12v daily that setup and do like most of these guys and separately charge the 16v cell configuration for comps.

run the 12 volt poles to your alternator, and bang your amp of the 16 volt. just like your diagram. charge the 16 volt side nightly with a 16v charger, and your good. also, hook the 16 volt poles together

Warning-----------the easiest way to hurt these batteries is to try to charge the 12 volt pole with a 16 volt charger. be aware.

yep, do that and you will get to see what a "gassed" battery looks like.

and smell one. you look over at your passenger, and be like "Did you fart?''

can you die like that???

if you sit there an huff it, that cant be good. oh wait your talking about the battery fumes. i dont know

well considering the fumes alone can corrode and do eat through the battery trays in most older vehicles, i would think it going into your lungs is just as damaging to vital tissue.

well sounds like yall have done an extensive amount of testing on how to run these batts, and know exactly how to get the most of them


GOOD LUCK

thanks guys...

hey allen wheres your shop at?
