missinglink Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I would get an alt upgrade for sure, and add some batts they give you longer playing time.

sully Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 add some Kinetik or Powermaster batteries (several) for storage and keep it on a battery charger for 24 hours before a competition to make sure the batteries are topped off. Even with little to charge them they will produce enough current for you at the competition.

An "overwound" alt in the stock case will actually have less output at idle. Adding more batteries will decrease the amount of voltage drop under a load. You will have to be mindfull of keeping them charged up with your intellicharger, other wise that little alt. will smoke itself trying to keep them charged. You could also put an overdrive pulley on the alternator to boost the idle output a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
