Knu 1/0 370a alternator ok with one run?

But I can see multiple points creating heat on the stud time to change to 4/0

or do the 2 runs in one lug thing.

The one lug wouldnt do anything for the low bat thingy MM is talking about.

Id expect the entire bank to help "back fill" the low cell. If you saw a shitty resting voltage on your entire bank, reason would stand, you have a bad cell. :shrug:

maybe im lost?... yes.. i am. :twirl:

I kind of understand... so the resistance is only caused when there is a back flow form rear batts which heats the stud with "multiple" lugs. Therefore (somehow) heats the regulator? i'm in space. just floating...................................................................................................................................................................................................

I believe MM, just my brain don't know how to process it.

4 runs on each alt is completely not necessary and a waste

Not even trying to be a cock.. BUT...

Necessary?

For you.... maybe not

(you know Ray is one of the loudest non wall set ups on the planet right)

but 2 simple connections on the alt hot stud shouldnt be all that big of a deal.

Most, are told to add a larger gauge, WITH your OEM line. Is that not 2 connections?

Again.... .. i have 2, wait! i have 3 ISH due to my VCM ... so..... maybe im burning my regulator up?

Ive never seen a issue but shit...

i think the heated stud argument relies on the alt stud being the central connection point between rear and front batteries. If I am following this correctly.

Not everyone is wired the same. I have 2 runs off of the alt but its going straight to my rear bank then from there through step downs to a small 12v in the front.

I assume this makes me "safe" ?

Nope.. the 2 connections on the one stud is the issue where are talking about now... Where they go dont matter.

We are speaking of 2 connections at the ONE alt stud.
