anyone experience battery failure after installing the jumbo aka dps or zeta aka hvs?

[Unknown_G7]

No battery failure or problem from my ride after installed Jumbo DPS from Ric!

[Modeldriver]

did you connect the terminals back properly ? so far I've not heard anyone having such a problem.

[Jimmyl]

Yes it does happen. Anyway, the gadget needs to be powered. So if your battery was weak in the first place, it may die.

errm.. I think the DIY-HVS does not have any components in it.

 

just cables...

[Jimmyl]

By newton's law, energy cannot be created.

 

If electricity flows through the cable(warms up/energy used/electrons move), electricity is being used .......from ................THE BATTERY

[Ace_t]

but if the cable is going nowhere and only acts like a capacitor, then very little energy is being utilised from the battery....coz there's no closed loop for the electrons to flow.

 

at most if the battery is placed at a location where it's exposed to hot air, then it might just contribute to the faster demise of the battery's life.

[Jimmyl]

After you charge a rechargeable battery and leave it alone for weeks, there is no close loop, does the battery lose charge?.......ANS : YES

 

Same idea, the DIY thingy is not just sitting there doing nothing. Try it on a 18 months old battery and don't start the car for a few days. You may get to see the effect.

 

If your car battery is new and strong, no worries. If you drive long distance, ie frequent charging of your car battery, no worries. But if you use it on a spare car that moves only on a weekend or an old battery..........................

well, unless if one travels out of sillipore often, then maybe there's some fact in what u mentioned.

 

and not many of us would have a car and keep it only to drive on rare occasions...unless it's a cillycar ..

DPS replica to let go. Upgraded to other systems.
