Is that the resting voltage with only charging from your alternator? Also is it a factory alternator? My two rest at 12.5-12.6 volts.

I have them in my crx, on a factory alt. I do charge them in between testing on the powermaster intellicharger.
I got one of my 2150's used and it was sitting at 12.5, I topped it off on the intellicharger on the 25 amp setting and it now sits around 12.8.
It sounds like you may not be recharging them fully. Have you tried charging them overnight.

Yeah ive charged them with my ctek 3300 but they don't have a high current setting on those chargers. Might have to try another charger.

i have seen a 13.1-3 rest after baking them like over night, usually i see 12.8 rest with just the alternator charging. anything under that is undercharged.

Now im kind of confused about my next move. I don't know if I should try an odyssey 25 amp charger or try a missing link audio module. Any insight?????? Im not and spl guy, just a daily dude.

does your car have and ecm that controls the amount of charge? my nissan does and it wont let the alt charge better than 13.8 if that is the case then the missing link might be a fix. i talked to them last year and they hadnt done an xterra yet and i didnt want to fuk up my computer so i just charge at the shows and bake em up with the charger

Just curious, isn't the CTEK 3300 a little small for the 2150 battery?
I was wondering, because I have just purchased the CTEK US 7002, and the reason I bought the 7002 was because I thought the 3300 was a little small for my Stinger 1700.

I have the ctek 3300 hooked up to a 1500 and 1750 odyssey right now. I thought about getting the ctek 7002 also. What is the best price you have found on that one? And what type of output does the 7002 have. I've also found a good deal on the 25 amp odyssey charger so I might just go that direction. I really like the physical size of the cteks though.

After a full 24 hours, my Stinger 1700 on my CTEK 7002: after 5 hours disconnected from the charger, my battery is sitting at 13.05 volts.

Ctek returned my email today and advised that the 3300 is enough charger for the 1500 and 1750 connected in parr.
