Thread: SSB HVT 50D Vs SSB HVT 65D

You need to wait until you actually use the batteries for a decent time period be tween charges, like after a weekend away.

Out of curiosity, what is your cranking battery voltages when you measure your auxiliary batteries?

Just checked this morning, car not started yet today.

Engine not running.
Starting batt: 12.60v
Aux batt: 12.87v

Hi Imaz and a tad surprised your SSB batteries were not sitting a shade higher.

My two SSB HVT50D batteries have not had a charge for 8 days now, and they are both at a constant 13.02v and 13.06v.

What is the temperature like where you are located?

When I sent those figures, it was a cool morning(17c) in Perth. Engine had not been started yet so the bay was cool.

Not sure I want to crank up the voltage maximum on the redarc bcdc charged to 15.4v if you think they may help. It would exceed the battery specs sheet.

Unsure if the parallel setup has any effect?

No accessories have ever been attached to these batteries yet, so considered new.

In saying that, both Kelvo and Dagilmo share the same voltages - unsure which configuration they have.

Has any one fitted a CBC12V75AH in a Traxide tray yet?

I have completed the installation of a Traxide kit and am now looking for a battery. I was hoping to fit a SSBHVT65D but looks like they’re all gone.

If the CBC12V75AH is a tight fit I will go for the safer option of the SSBHVT50D.

cheers

I’m in Perth, so same temperature as you, but I have a Traxide USI-160 isolator which I leave in the ‘ignition’ position under normal everyday driving. My voltage is measured using a BT battery monitor.

Hi Kelvin, and what sort of results are you getting?

Pretty good results, I think. I don’t have any logs showing the battery with a load connected, it’s been a fair few months since I’ve been out camping. But here is a log after the D4 had been sat for four days.

These are the voltages as the D4 was turned off before being left for four days (3.5 really). The main battery drops off more initially as the auto headlight delay kicks in as it gets park in our garage.
