budah93 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm running a single saz2500d and I was wondering what battery setup I should run to keep my volts up? Also should I run 1 or 2 batteries? also is it worth the money to buy a HO alternator? If so how many amps and what brands should I look at? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterbusa2 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 looks like your oem replacement ranges from 116-132 so yours has to be in that range, now you have to think about 70% is being used by Accessories headlights radio ac etc etc, myself would start with a batt, then alt in near future.

budah93 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I was looking at running 1 or two xs power 2400s. Think that would do okay for my application? I don't plan on installing any more amps or anything that would draw more power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterbusa2 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 2 plus stock? or 1 plus stock? Either way reason with 1 and observe volt drop see if it slowly drops or drops very quickly, from what I know take this with a grain of sand, Drops slow New alt, Drops fast Extra batt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budah93 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Taking out the stock battery. Putting a 2400 under the hood if it fits and a 2400 in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterbusa2 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Measure twice for sure if replacing stock! always measure twice dont want to have to ship your new 50lb batt back fr a smaller one xD but yeah start with that and check voltage order one at a time if u have to, I woudl order back one first.. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
