garton05 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Do i just wire it so both alt are on my first battery or one alt per battery. How's this work?

blownengine Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 You can wire both alternators to the same battery. If everything is wired right the power will be equally distributed on its own.

mr.p Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 If you have 2 big alternators i would run them both to the system...If you have 1 big alternator i would just run it to the system with its own batteries. This is really nice as you dont get headlight dimming or any electrical issues with the car, but you may get ground loop noise if you dont set it all up right.

I have the stock alternator and DC power 230amp alternator. What do you mean by run them to my system. I was planing on runing both alternators thru my optima battery up front to my XS power d3100 in back then to my 2 AQ2200's. What you think?

What you think? just run them to the front battery. it's all connected anyway.

mr.p Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Well ya see in theory, if you have a 270A alternator and back batteries your runs front to rear only have to supply the current that the alt can produce + or - for the voltage drop so lets say 300A depending on length of your runs this could be done with one or two runs of 1/0... IF you connect your alternator to the front battery and have the runs going from the front battery to the back batteries, your runs now have to flow the current that the front battery + alternators can discharge, i dont know about you but batteries are rated in CRANKING amps, ya know like 1000CCA Now you need a hell of alot more runs right? Also mismatching batteries is not optimal. Ever seen a SS CRX burp car, how many runs from the front to rear do they have? With the jeep i had 1 run of 1/0 per 300A alternator, and had a .1-.2 voltage drop full tilt between front and rear.
