fishchris1 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Often we hear about how much juice can be pulled from a battery, and how fast. But is it possible to put too much juice into a battery, too quickly ? I have seen many vehicles on the internet with 3 or 4 big, strong alternators putting out as much as 1400 amps ! (which is ef'ng amazing !) But almost always, these same systems will have a big, fat battery system of like 6 batteries, or more... Or nowadays, a big, booming lithium bank. But do individual batteries, have a max charging potential, and could one be fried, or catostrophically blown up, if one tried to shove massive amps into it too quickly ? Does this ever happen, and is this ever a concern ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronT Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 This is where the voltage regulator comes into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronT Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 The alts regulator shuts it off or dials it back when demand is low. While it's still putting out voltage, amperage is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonsyph Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 The alts only put out as much amps is needed right? So theoretically you can’t put to much amps into them?
