  1. so ive tried the charger on a single batt (d3400) and a bank of 3 d3100s.

    Whenever I turn it on it just sits at the screen that shows .6v stby.

    No matter what ive done checking the wires nothing has worked so far. I used sky high 8g for the power wires. I have the controller, temp wire and power/ground all hooked up as far as i know correctly.

    And it just shows .6v stby noatter what

  2. How is this confusing? I originally mentioned that I got 4 alts with regular plugs on them (hence why i was asking which wires needed to be hooked up)

    Mechman mentioned that usually when they build alts for a multi alt setup they make 1 normal and make the others self exciting.

    I mentioned I didnt know that was an option and that I had ordered the alts through the SSA store and that the way i destribed was the way they showed up.

  3. The honestly best way to do multiple alts is to have the first one set up to plug into the factory harness, and do the rest self exciting. A self exciting regulator will tend to have an output of about 14.9V to 15.1V when cold/ warm. Other nice thing is no plugs to deal with. Battery cables and that is all.

    Guys have a great weekend.

    Honestly I didnt know this was an option. I just ordered 4 alts through SSA and this is how they came lol.

  4. So I have a 04 tahoe and I will be installing 4 mechman elite 370's. Now the plugs that came with the alts I understand that one of the alts will plug into the stock plug. So for the other 3 alts is there a certain wire i need to hook up? Do I need to splice all the same colored wires together? The plugs currently have 4 wires (yellow, blue, red, black) with a pigtail blue wire to hook up to a ignition source. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
