16 Volt Battery
 

I'd like to put a 16V battery in my car. I run Dedenbear delay box (the old CO2 model) and thottle stop controller. I also have an ACD air shifter and a MSD dist and 6AL2 box. Well these be OK with the 16V? Thanks Robbie

Robbie,
I've been using 16 volt Batteries for as long as I can remember - maybe 15 years or so.
They won't efect anything your using currently including the the 7AL2 which I currently have.
Just Charge them between runs with the Master off. They will go quite a few rounds without charging at all !

Robbie,
I run ROCK 16v. Hvae since 2008. When I switched I called the companies and asked. Most said everything produced in the las 10 years was compatible(keep in mind that was 08).
You should be fine, and like Chuck said keep the charged.

Thanks for the replies guy's, I've order a battery and charger already. Can I still run my standard alt or do I need to switch to a 16V alt.

Anyone consider using or are using the XS Power 14v battery?

speaking of the 14 volt battery. Since it requires a dedicated charger and alternator you may as well do the 16 volt package. The 16 volt deal is very good, once you try, you will always buy:)

And like Chip posted, my experience with Rock Battery's bought from Mark Payne is very positive [no pun intended] These comments are grounded in experience.

Robbie,
I sent my alternator back to East Coast and had them convert to 16 volts,you will like the 16 volt deal.

Thanks for that info, my alt is from East Coast. Do you remember what they charged to do that?

Re: 16 Volt Battery
 

Most 16V manufactures profess their batteries will not discharge below 14V (I have always been skeptical of this claim), so is a 16V alternator necessary with a singe battery setup?
