Jagraj7870 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 This might be a noob question but hey u can never be too sure right? So apparently i can't fit 2 alternators in my Jeep which sucks because i really want to be able to hold my voltage i ordered a MLA module and now im just waiting for that so atleast i can get the most out of my current H/O Alt (DC 270xp) the question i have is: i have 6 batteries 2 in the front and 4 in the back if i was to run 2-3 more leads off my alternator (so it would be one more to the front and 1-2 more to the back) would this put more of a strain on my alternator? if not would this help hold voltage? im thinking when i get the MLA Module and if everything goes as planned i can maybe hit the switch to make it charge at 15.3 and then charge my batteries quicker again im not too sure about running multiple wires from ONE alternator so if anyone can verify this, that would be great thanks - 2 SMDs 1 Kicker WarhorseSound System Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/120796-2-18s-in-jeep-wrangler-jk-w-kicker-amplifiers/Air Bag Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/166437-jeep-wrangler-bagdj10k-build/https://www.facebook.com/teammayzn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch0sen Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 If your alt is only charging at 270 amps then i couldn't see anything over 3 runs of 0 gauge actually helping your voltage, 3 or 4 runs my help keep your voltage a little higher for longer. but in theory 1 run of 0 gauge will charge the batteries as fast as 30 runs, since 1 run will carry 270 amps But i'm a noob so you better get someone elses opinion My current 95 Jetta Build w/ pioneer h/u 2 RD Sonance 10's with flatwind coils 2 Audiopipe apsm 1500.1s 1 Hifonics Brutus Elite 60x4 1 XS d925 1 Stinger spv35 1 1000 amp lead acid 50 ft of 0/1 ofc from Audiotechnix all powerbass components, and coaxils, 4 sets buildlog = http://www.stevemead...2-rd-10s-build/ My build for my wife. http://www.stevemead...01-f-150-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagraj7870 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 that is true but from traveling from the front battery to the rear battery through one wire takes long no? now it will be another wire so it can help all im worried about is putting strain on the alternator - 2 SMDs 1 Kicker WarhorseSound System Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/120796-2-18s-in-jeep-wrangler-jk-w-kicker-amplifiers/Air Bag Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/166437-jeep-wrangler-bagdj10k-build/https://www.facebook.com/teammayzn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin - STAPUFT Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would think that if one is large enough, then that is all you need. ...but... due to heat, added resistance, etc... more won't hurt as electricity will take the path of least resistance. And the more runs, the less resistance. You just gotta' fuse them all.
