KenD Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I see alot of posts in the way of voltage being in a specific range of 13.0-14.0 volts. I realize that there will be some fluctuations in voltage depending on what accessories are being applied, but lately, I've been getting very high readings of 14.5-15.0 volts on my DIC. This was when we had our deep freeze of -30 below for about 2 weeks, and as of today it's a balmy 10 degrees out and my readout says around 13.5-13.9. So, what is the proper range to be in or are there too many factors to give a answer? 1994 STS Pearl White 260,000 KM (163,000 miles) <img src="http://img45.photobucket.com/albums/v137/caesar/caddycaesar.jpg" border="0" class="linked-sig-image" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I was talking about this about a month ago. Bbobynski was saying that in the COLD weather you WILL see higher charging rates than in warm weather, I am sure what you are experiencing, Mike (I don't have that problem as I use a WARP COIL!)

Aye, Mr.Scott..But, we do get those 'surges' when the dylithium crystals start to facture... And then there's those darn matter/anti-matter injectors clogging..I HATE cleaning those.. '93 STS.. opened, dropped, wide...fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now the anti-matter injectors are good for 100,000 light years before they clog up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Sounds normal. Mine was running 14.9 in sub zero weather. Now around 14.5. Closer to 14.0 during the summer as I recall (seems like eons ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob D Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Bob, in the old days we just use to just ROD THEM OUT, a dirty job, INDEED! But now the anti-matter injectors are good for 100,000 light years before they clog up! Yeah, that's what I keep reading about those later model warp drives..Oh well, my early nineties version needs a little extra cleaning, but it's still good for Warp 9 from time to time.. In fact, I had a personalised liscence plate resereved for this thing.."WARP 9"..No kidding. I just never got around to completeing the application. Actually, the more thought about it, the less smart it seemed. (My wife didn't think it was a great idea either)..Something about attracting the wrong kind of attention...

Bob, Its funny you say that, I was going to reserve ENTR@PRYZ with the @ sign being the NY Statue of Liberty. I don't think I am going to keep this car too long however, as I think I like the STS better. I actually have business cards for WARP DRIVE COMPUTERS from when I was building computers! Aye Robert, I agree with your wife about the attention, not that your 93 doesn't draw a lot of attention on its own! Scotty out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
