DodgerCannon Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi all, I'm thinking about going 16v when I get my new alts. Just wondering what I would use to step down the voltage for the rest of the car? If I'm going to the hassle of going high voltage would it be better to go 18v? Also I've got 6kw ill be using 500a-600a worth of alts how many of the xs 14v batteries would I need? I'm thinking 3? Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgerCannon Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 It's a vw lupo... I understand that I will need a step down so the other electronics don't go mental. Are xs the only people to do one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
