please school me on alternators


Recommended Posts

Should I upgrade my alt/get extra battery? I've got an AQ 2200 on just the stock 130amp alt and some autozone battery I think

I would get an extra battery. Also install a volt meter if you haven't already.

Okay that's what I was thinking since its not a ton of power

no thread jacking lol jk

well i know my stinger meter is a little off, it tends to read higher and if my alt does only read high 13s then its dropping to low 11s. anything below 12.8 is not good and below 12 is bad. im starting to save up for a alternator. also my tsumani wire i have is 250amps, my amp is 300amps, if i upgrade that, would that help voltage some? i guess since it would make the wire a little hotter then what it can handle? more resistance?

Oh i know how a 12v system works I did take 3 years of electronics in High school hands on and some in college and also worked on cars in college an always got A's to B's in each class. 

But oh well enough dealing with ppl who have probably not even lived as long as ive been into electronics!
