ncc74656 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Posted April 2, 2018 i have a client with a 6 battery bank in the bed and dual factory battery locations up front. he has 2 alternators and each alternator is going to its side battery so the driver side alt is going to the driver side battery and passenger alt going to the passenger side battery. i dont know - does having 2 point of voltage input going to two different batteries in an electrical system present any kind of issue? e.g. should these alternators be rewired to both go to a single positive terminal on one battery or is status quoe good enough? we are pushing close to 1200A at full tilt and are considering a 3rd alternator in an after market bracket (current two are in factory locations). (power stroke) nothing, gutted
ncc74656 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Posted April 2, 2018 bump? if we have multiple batteries and multiple charging devices should all the charging devices be going to a central junction point OR can the charging devices be connection a different junction points in the electrical circuit with out ill effect? nothing, gutted
AlpineNut Posted April 2, 2018 Report Posted April 2, 2018 From what I have seen from the old car audio magazines and other places connecting both alternators to a single point will not harm anything, as you can see from this Steve Meade video. 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n
ncc74656 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Posted April 2, 2018 yea i didn't think going to a single point would harm anything, kind of the opposite. i was concerned that having multiple alternators going to different batteries that maybe there would be a potential for voltage differential or some other effect I'm not aware of to negatively impact the system nothing, gutted

ncc74656 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Posted April 2, 2018 no, same electrical system. 6 batteries in the back with two up front and each alt has it power connection a its own battery left to right respectively. i just wanted to know if they should be chained together and running to just one battery or if it didn't matter nothing, gutted
snafu Posted April 3, 2018 Report Posted April 3, 2018 So, the 6 batteries in the back . . . are those positives tied together? If so, it's a non-issue. Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!
ncc74656 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Posted April 3, 2018 yes they, so it dosent matter then. kool, just wanted to check and see if there was any kind of industry standard that should be adhered to nothing, gutted
