That’s why I always test electrical systems with the scope with an amp clamp along with checking voltage. Current draw back to the battery should go down quickly after starting. Seen lots of alternators fail shortly after being replaced from weak batteries constantly drawing excessive current. As someone who does this for a living I’m kind of impressed to see you talking about this. Not many people know to look for things like this. Keep spreading the knowledge.
@GamingHelp Жыл бұрын
The other thing people will need to know, is that if you have a big audio setup and you're constantly drawing high current from the alternator, you're going to be learning how to yank alternators and put new brushes in em. :) In my case, until I finally just belted up a second alternator, I was rebrushing the main alternator every couple of years. So remember, if you want to go anywhere that having your vehicle quit on you might be kind of dangerous, think about the alternator. I once had an alternator fail on me two hours north of Red Earth, Alberta, way out in the bush on a lease road after driving a friend to a job site. It was -30C in the middle of winter, no cell phones (This was the mid 90's) and the only thing I could think of was to try and limp to Athabasca (I had close friends there that I could stay with). So, as soon as I seen the light come on, I got out and pulled every fuse I could except ignition and even pulled the plug off one of the headlights to cut the current draw in half. I even turned off the cabin blower heater and instead, set the intake to fresh and cracked one of the side windows to "pull" air in through the intake so we at least wouldn't freeze. We made it, but barely. That's like 25 years or more now, but I seem to recall it took us about three to four hours to make it to Athabasca. If I hadn't pulled fuses AND ran on a single headlight, we wouldn't have made it. The one remaining headlight was barely a candle glow by the time we rolled into Athabasca. Before we went in to get a bit of sleep at my friends place, I tried it to see if the starter would turn over. Not even a click. Athabasca is still two and a half hours from home too, so if we'd have pushed for home, we'd have been screwed. Ah, to be young again! :D

Great video - Another option is to use a high output (at idle) alternator, for example, Balmar XT-250 with an external regulator that acts like a battery charger. The MC-618 external regulator has charging profiles for different battery chemistries. A normal car alternator without external regulator will definitely have issues exactly as your video demonstrates. A Balmar XT-250 and MC-618 external regulator will provide over 100A at idle and charge the battery properly. I do need to mention I work at Balmar - Thanks!

With a completely stock car and stock audio system, there is no need to put your car on an external charger. The stock alternator is designed to handle a 100% duty cycle on that configuration, so no.... you're not stressing it out by leaning solely on it. The only exception to this is if you have a bad battery or you're literally starting the car for extremely short trips with headlights, h/ac blowers, etc running, which don't allow the alt to fully top off the battery to replenish what the starter sucked out of it. My guess on why his alt is running wide open for so long is that he's continually sucking power out of the battery faster than the alt can return it. And also, he mentioned a lithium ion battery pack he had integrated with his agm auxilliaries and vented plate batt under the hood. If he's running the l/i without a tailored charge controller, then the lithium-ion is probably maxing out what the alternator's voltage regulator will allow because they can drink as hard as they deliver... much faster than the lead/acid based batteries which the car's regulator is designed for. If simply hooked in parallel with the others, it will even act as a buffer, both feeding the other batteries while sucking full-flow on the alternator. Now there's a chance he's got the li-ion isolated with its own controller, and simply, as I said before, not allowing the alt to catch up. But this is something you're just not likely to ever have to worry about with a fully stock configuration in your car.

Hey EXO, long time fan of yours. I just recently added a small 20Ah AGM battery and supercapacitor bank to my car (which has a solar setup on it). I've been curious about what my draw was in different situations and if I was getting close to the limit of my 130A alternator at any point, even before I added the extra power sources. I bought a clamp meter not even half an hour before seeing your video and I'm glad that I'm doing the proper checks. Your video highlights how easy it is to assume your alternator will be able to keep up fine, when it's actually being worked to death. I first saw the power draw issue mentioned when I looked up lithium iron phosphate batteries and it's scary how quickly things can go up in smoke if you're severely overloading your alternator at idle. Some newer alternators can change charging current based on temperatures, but most alternators people will come across don't have that protection. When it comes to adding extra stuff to your vehicle, you need to be extremely careful when it comes to power draw, your wiring, and what is supporting all of the components. If you make a mistake, it can end up with serious consequences such as breaking or severely shortening the life of components, fires/burnt wiring, dead battery in a remote area, etc. Please do your research and don't take shortcuts... shortcuts and lack of research WILL come back to bite you
@JSTheAnonymousOne Жыл бұрын

Most people Don’t realize an alternator will never charge a to full capacity no matter what size it is if you kill Your battery and jump start the car and only drive it and think your are going to fully charge the battery you are going to kill that battery faster than you can believe. Get it on a proper battery charger with 10-20% of your AH rating. So a 100 AH battery needs a minimum 10 amp charge to full to keep the battery in the nest condidtion.

I used a 350 watt sub in my car until my alternator and battery broke. My sub was a sealed 350 watt blaupunkt with 400 watt amp. My car stereo has a factory stock included 250 watt amp 6 channel system and 2 under seat 20 cm stock subs, 80 watt eatch. Normally they can reproduce 40 hz bass with 95db at 1 meter, car wont shake because freq is too high, to shake, it needs below 40 hz freq. That's why i call them woofers and not subwoofers. To reach 40 hz i use subsonic filter and a lot of active filters in my phone (2 equalizers and bass enchantment + tube woofer enchantment, etc.). It sounds amazingly good. Only bad part is i don't have freq below 40 hz and i don't have the shaking feeling :) To repair this i found out i don't need a large sub in trunk, i only need 1 small sub inside the car behind back seat. So i created a 4th order box with a sub of 80 watt rms that takes power from head unit and it sounds almost as a 200 watt rms sealed sub box. This 4th order box is amazing. This way i save my alternator and battery + i can listen to music for 5 hours without drying my battery to 0. With a setup of 1 sub, 2 woofers, 2 mid, 2 tweeters i get 105db at 1 meter sound. Anyone who says under seat woofers are bad they clearly haven't used filters to them to reach their potential :) basicly i put equalizers to +15db on 30hz and -15db to rest of freq's.... and still it wont hit 30 hz only 40hz, seems like they were designed to bypass that freq... I'm curious while my car already had a amp of 250 watt and i connected first time the blaupunkt amp of 400 watt it scaled to 650 watt consumption overall ?! i conected the B.P. amp to rear speaker wires and not to aux in head unit... how bad was this?

Thanks Exo! After watching this i figured what was wrong with my voltage drop even with a new aftermarket alternator!

2021, no such thing as a beater. Pure gold as long as it drives. My first car cost around $500. Lost it in a crash. Next car cost $1000. But it was cool. 1954 Willy's Jeep Station Wagon. What's a good beater cost today ? $5000 ?? And ! Great info on the batteries.

There is a video on my channel that reviews the Schumacher SP3 battery maintainer. Picking up a good battery maintainer will help avoid this problem.

I have been doing this for years to the batteries in my Jeep and other 4x4's. No big stereo to run though, a 9500lb winch instead. It will pull a pile of amps in a hurry, an aux battery is a must.

Yeah, I just bought a 250 amp alternator from js alternators and I had no idea my stock alternator was working that hard. Im always learning something new

Is it harder on the alternator, yes. However, it is designed to charge and maintain. If you.have dead batteries, absolutely... Charging them is a great idea. I think a bigger mass spread problem is overcharging, and proper voltage regulation with temp compensation. I see too many people with the voltage way past what's good for lead acid, but it's a trade-off for performance and fast charging. I've gone through many sets of batteries, and have learned the hard way. Proper voltage for longevity is key. Great video and great point you mention. Go feel an alternator under heavy load, it's too hot to touch! Abuse my alternators, to the point of making the gates green fleet runner belt squeel and have had excellent service from these mechmans so far.

EXO, I love these build videos where you explain everything. I'm a beginner bass head, started with a 10" then 2 12" now I'm working with a 15" and constantly doing upgrades. A big problem I have though is I don't have some equipment like the scope and also I don't know all the technical stuff, Like what volts it's supposed to be at and other things. But I love it and will keep working at it. And I love these videos!
