Is there a way to make it look good though?........lol.
You know I gotta represent. ;)

 

of course, youll take the box, throw it under the car, behind the wheels, extend the cables to the top... BAM!!!!! there you go... LOL. unless by pretty you mean to like put crystals and stuff, if so, ask ned about that one he is into that kinda ___ stuff. LOL

 

HIN isnt worth some or our time, rather be a spectator than showing an not even classing. plus the HIN reps have to approve your mods. an say that it is a mod.

 

Well I will certainly be there, I have to be now.......lol.

 

 

but ya know i do have a battery charger! now how much power am i supposed to buy if i even wanna get any!

 

the power that you are buying / renting is a extension cord.. LOL. they have to come by and plug it in.. LOL.

 

for those who don't live close to a performance shop...here's the tentative list of other locations that may be more convenient to pick up the Dallas HIN flyers for $3off at the door...beats paying full price.

i know but it says we are supposed to figure out how much power we are gonna use and then decide which teir to buy/rent....
thats the part i am confused about.

 

no, just let them decide, they only put those for the booth people.

 

Just so everyone knows....i used one of these at last years show and it did not work. I was trying to run my stereo, tv, lights, purge and amps. The charger only lasted about 15 min and then would beep because it was loosing power. at that time I decided to pay for the power and have it plugged in. It had the same performance plugged in. after about an hour of messing with it I just turned everything off. I still have it and will be bringing it if you want to use it. Again, didn't work great for me.

 

what if i just bring an extra battery, i have like 2 good batterys just sitting in the garage.

i dont have nearly as much needed to run off of power though
just my stereo and the lighting...

 

as for the battery you cant, since you have to disconnected..

 

yea i know i was just saying. but really imma just take the charger with me and use that, if it goes to crap oh well.

 

a inverter takes 12 volts to 110...a converter takes 110 to 12 volts...if you are trying to run 12 volts off of 110 get a converter you can get small ones at places like camping world

 

well whatever i am using is what plugs into a 110v and connects to the12v battery to charge it. is that not the same thing then?

i did some light reading and the charger I have isn't always on when charging, it cycles through on/off periods.

input is regular 120vac output is 12vdc at either 2amps or 10amps. and goes through 5s on/145s off cycles...

i would guess that most chargers would do the same thing? but this charger is an older model, so it may just be that....
and with the on/off cycle it reads like it wouldn't work for what i need...

sorry for all the nOOb questions but this type of thing is news to me.
are converters rated at being able to only work a certain amount of 12v items?
and if so i have no idea how much my stuff is drawing from the battery, not nearly as much as some people.... i will have a 2 amp system and a handful of cathodes and LEDs and the stock lights.... the lights are not much my worry cause they don't draw much power at all but its the system,

 

Ok then, I need a converter.

 

^ They are not cheap.... around 300 bucks for a decent one... RV or Boating stores are great places to check them out.

If you are not running a full audio setup or tons of strobes... a small charger works well... mine is constant 10 AMPS... but strobes kill it... so I keep those off until a judge comes... and then just run them for a few minutes, as you'll see my tails pulse with the strobes pulling power

I have to get a full converter soon too...

 

Hmm, might have to spend some of that prize money.

 

^ LoL ... Heard to beat out TheFoth... Nice Ride.... HIN for me is Saturday... seeing how I'll do.
