Chaosgrunt Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 When I get my 3 amps, should I have them all powered off the last battery in the bank or would it be better to spread it out to 1 amp to 1 battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 It really depends on your setup. If your charging system is strong enough and you are not pulling anything stupid I would run them off the last battery and have the alt charge the first. If you are pulling a lot, you want to balance the load on the bank so that all the batteries get change and the amps pull from all the batteries. You will eventually reach a point where you are draining one battery more than the others and charging only one battery more than the others but that is at a pretty high level and won't be an issue for your average daily driver 4ch+sub amp and 10s/12s. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Im walling my mustang and so my charging system will have at least 2 320 amp alternators but the guy thats building my alternator bracket thinks we can fit 3 in there. Also, I will be having 3 AQ 3500's @ .5 ohms on 3 AQ HDC4 18's. So i have an idea. The AQ3500's take dual power inputs, 2 positive and 2 ground per amp. So, lets say i have 6 XS d3100's in the trunk. I power the first AQ3500 to where one of the inputs is from battery one, and the other input from battery 2. And i do that for each amp. Then the 2nd amp would hook to 3&4 and amp 3 to 5&6. Sound right? Then i was figuring, if i have 3 alternators and do 2 runs back per alternator, alternator 1's positives run to battery 1&2. Alternator 2 to 3&4 so on... Also just to clear up any confusion, i just want to clearify that yes all the batteries will be connected together, when i say alternator 1 running battery 1 & 2, i mean that the alternator is connected directly to battery 1&2's terminals. Hope this helps clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
