velvetsmack Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hey guys my car has a factory 90 amp alt in it. I was looking into purchasing a kinetik 1200, would this battery put to much of a strain on my alt? I heard that if you get a too big of a Bart with a small alt the alt can fail on you, so I was wondering if I got a kinetik 1200 under the hood offf it would be okay, or if I have to get a smaller kinetic Thanks!

pa-pa-platypus Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 that bat will be fine.. im running 2 kinetic 1800's offa stock alt.. i just give em a good trickle charge every now and then...alts still going strong after over a year of it being like that...stock alt just takes longer to recover than a h/o This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejarillo Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah you should be fine but just to make sure you get the most out off ur stock alt do the big 3 upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetsmack Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 yeah ive got to do the big 3 sometime, and alright i was just wondering because my stock alt is relatively small, i have a small car, so i just wanted to make sure i wouldnt be hurting anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tejarillo Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Go for it liked they said before use a charger and top it off once in a while just to keep in optimum conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
