you need to find out your alt amps, and what vehicle do you have they dont make HO alts for all cars only the standard ones used I have a 120amp alt stock two hc2ks running 4k i dont go below 13.5

alt in some cars are computer controlled.... so each car is diff despite how big of an alt.

Ric, they fund me half only (repair cost). Fuckers denied my claim so I esculated to their management team lol.

well your amp is pulling 167 amps depending on your charging and i think that car is 13.8, with your alt being a 105 amps at around 2k rpms charging and about 60 or 70 at idle, Im going to say you need a bigger bat yes you can buy the alt but i dont see it needed ppl been running 2.5k for along time without upgraded alts

I know you were getting an Hc2400 what happend to that
