Couple of people say that the aem pullies kill your battery, is this true and if so why would AEM continue to make a product that cuts your battery life considerably, Anyone have any personal experience with them?

 

if you put pulleys on and run a large stereo system or a lot of electronics then yes you may see isues.
i run an unorthodox pulley on my race car and the battery is fine, but voltage at idle is just barely over 12volts, and doesnt get over 13.4 ever, while the stock pulley would get to 14.4.

 

I have a TV and a Ps2 in my car you think i could be safe?

if i ahd that much crap in my car i sure as hell wouldnt want to be reducing alternator output.

 

Not to mention that you obviously aren't that concerned about speed, so why spend a couple hundred to free up a HP or two?

 

alright thanks for the info!!

 

Does AEM make an A/c Pulley or no?

 

no aem does not

 

thanks i appreciate it

 

no problem

 

NO THEY DONT!

 

i had it on my fifth gen, the alternator wasn't producing enough current at idle to where it was draining straight at my battery

same here. except it's in my h22 accord. not enough current at idle unless i rev to about 1500 rpm's check my sig

 

if that was happeneing you probably had a weak alternator then, and it needed to be replaced.

 

i wouldnt get the alternator pulley, its prob not even worth the money. not to me atleast..i think the only pulley that will make a difference is the crank

 

too bad your pullies are for 4th gen accord instead of the h22!

cuz no one gives a **** about shorter battery life when there is HP to be gained.

btw....why not instead of draining only the battery get a freaking capacitor. If you have a system, get one, a TV, get one, a PS2 get one, i mean...it is just the smart thing to do.

or get another battery, or a better one, plus a better alternator.

 

No the OEM pulley is designed to run at twice the speed of the crank but with the larger AEM pulley this aint happening bud. Thats why the pulley kills ur battery
