Honda Question.....

[Brett]

Does anyone know Honda's really well? I ask because I have a odd question and need a answer from someone who knows Honda's ways really well.

Last year when I was showing at HIN, I paid to have power run to the civic, I brought a Battery Charger to hook the power to and unhooked the battery and hooked the charger to the cars terminals. But th ecar didnt get ANY power at all, We even swapped out the chargers thinking maybe one was bad. But I couldnt get power to run through the car that way.

Someone said they thought Honda had thier wiring done in a way that you cant run power that way, Is this true? If not what can be the reason I am not getting any power direct that way?

I am trying to figure this out before HIN in 3 weeks, Thanks.

anyone?

i have had new wires run for a power supply with some strange looking plug on the end of the wires and my power supply so now all i do is plug the 2 together and i am good as gold

[Nittanys1]

that really doesnt help out.....

i have the same question...i hook one up too but it would only power a few things. I have tried to get this done brett but havent had any luck.....

[Brett]

So how do we bypass this bullshit? I want power for HIN

[dereksi]

me too.

[Brett]

C'Mon, I now someone knows the answer to this shit :D

Brett i am not + about this but i can question a few things here. Even though a battery charger can charge a battery i don't think it has the amp output to run your car. I think that is the reason why it takes a while to fully charge a battery. You should try something like an AC to DC converter with the amps to do what ever you want.

Good point, I dont use it to run the car though, Just give it juice for the undercar kit, Parking lights.... So its not much as far as amps go that it needs....... :confused:

[Silvernbluepearl]

this is not hard. I run to wires off the battery to the bottom of the car with a fork lift plug on the end and then i have a power supply (not battery charger) with the other end of the plug on it. I plug the power supply into the wall and then plug the power supply into my car and everything works perfect...keeps the battery charged and everything in my car works just fine

[dereksi]

Cool let me tap into yours at HIN. LOL j/k

[Nittanys1]

ok where did you get the power box and plug, also how much?

[Brett]

But they make us undo the battery at HIN though

[Nittanys1]

i just unhooked the pos side from the top terminal and had the bat. grounded and the accessories on the side terminal :D got the neons to run...too bad i wasnt able to use the radio....

[Silvernbluepearl]

don't unhook the battery. no one cares really. the NCCA won't say anything about it. as for the power supply i stole it so i don't know where to get them and as for the plug i ordered it through hifi buys

[Nittanys1]

got pics of the power box and the manufacturer who makes it so we may possibly get it....

[Brett]

^^ HA HA HA

Well if my battery is new ( Just a regular battery ) do you think for the 5 hours of the show I can run the under car kit and trunk neon?

If anything is it safe to use a charger but have it hooked to the battery the whole time so the battery keeps a charge while I run the stuff?

[Nittanys1]

I had the under neons and 5 interior neons running for the entire show and didnt have a problem, granted the battery was 2 days old but you should be fine....if not i have jumpers in my car :D

[Nittanys1]

I deleted that dumb ass's post

[eViLMunkey]

for powering things like that "special" plug check Home Depot since they should carry something like that in the electrical department and ask them about ac to Dc converters so you can run the electrical in the vehicle/...

[civic95]

I told you man, all you need is a flux capacitor, and you'll be set.

[Brett]

I know, so I bought BACK TO THE FUTURE but I cant get it off the movie, It wont come out of the TV!! :D

[eViLMunkey]

I think they carry them at WalMart now...

[Brett]

But is it the 1.21 jigawats version? HA HA HA HA
