recommended amount and size for a dc10k

So my friend is doing a 10k and 2 fi teams im trying to think what would be best he has a s10 extreme that is going to have a 350 stroker put in so one alt is probably only going to fit so a nice battery bank is going to be needed.

I would start with 4 D7500s or a bank of other models of equal capacity.

haha. Better to side with more electrical. No such thing as too much battery support.

Werd. I ran my dc 10k .7 nominal with a singer 350 conventional and !the mentioned 4-7500s. I never saw 10s. Hell low 11's after 10 demos at full was uncommon.

Still haven the bats added a alt and swapping the conventinal for a hair pin just for better performance. But that set up was awesome for that amp

I loved that 10k by the way. Wish I never sold it.

Look for around 7-9 hundred amp hours and you will do fine.

I highly suggest getting a 6phase /hair pin alternator. Period.

Going off SonicElectronix prices, you can get 6 D3100s for less than 4 D7500s, and the D3100s will only weight 53.2lbs more (the only downfall) while having more combined reserve spec wise.

Plus sometimes it is a lot easier to make room for a few more smaller batteries than a few larger batteries.
