Battery Power

[joakwin]

im building a system for my 84 classic mini

i have a 220amp alt, (the stock alt was 45amp) changed out the stock mini alt for a gm case alt

i upgraded the headlights from the seal beam units to

some wipac holgen lights that are 65watts ea

i have a optima yellow top as my main battery

and i have a pair of group 31's

that are rated at 925cca and 180ah

im useing 2/0 ga welding wire

and all 3 of the batteries are in the back of the car

where im gonna mount my amps

i was wondering if you guys think my electric system will be good enuff

to handle a pair of audiopipe ap15001 amps

or a single ap30001 amp

for daily driving

if not then i can add another battery or two and have

4 of those 180ah batteries

im gonna run a pair of tc-9 based 12's in the car

right now the batteries are all new,

i ordered the yellow top and by the time it came in

i took my mini off the road to re-do the suspension

and put in all new poly bushing kit on the car and paint all the suspension parts

so now im building a new battery rack and doing up a big system

thanks and sorry for the long post

should be ok for the 3k audiopipe, still should have some good voltage drops tho

Never hurts to get an alternator... only benefits you getting more :hairtrick:

ok

i traded back the yellow top battery i had, it was a group 31 yellow top but it was brand new still in the box

so the place i got it from let me trade it back into them

and i had to pay a few more bucks

but i got two more of the 180 ah

so im gonna run 5 of the 180ah bats in all with the 220amp alt

to daily drive 3k watts

just gonna build a rack to hold the bats now
