Is it possible that because they were charged with a dedicated alternator and MLA module for 2 weeks straight with only 400 watts max of draw that they were over charged?

If this "dedicated alternator" setup had the batteries connected to the slave alternator, with no voltage reference to the master alternator, then yes you have been overcharging your batteries.

Multiple alternators should be connected to ALL of the batteries in the bank. Sharing the load between all of the alternators and batteries in the system is the only way a dual alternator MLA module should be hooked up.

Clean your batteries with baking soda & water to get rid of the acid that vented. Check the resting voltage after they have cooled off.

A 4 gauge jumper wire between the two alternator output studs is recomended if you have seperate batttery banks.

baking soda and water? hmm, i am for sure gonna go try that, thanks. it makes sense though =x

When running multi alt set ups we use your cars voltage reference as our guide. So by doing 1 alt to car and 1 alt for sub amp/batteries then the sub/amp batteries have no reference point to go off of and will run 17/18/19v because its "kinda" unregulated. Your front battery / alt sences car draw with the reference point then the 2nd alt sees the same draw/load without a responce back from the car. So all it sees is a load demand and runs wide open pretty much.

We can do split system set ups as well they are our "Stand Alone" modules , which in these units we build the reference point into the module.

Hope this helps a little more,

Chris@ MLA
