Any benefit to running a dual setup like this?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have the OG 300a on there in place of the stock unit, but im still running into some series voltage drop issues, even with the addition of my 2nd battery.

So my question is would i see any real benefit to take the time and put my stock back in as well as the 300s unit.

i would have a dual seup with 1 105a and 1 300a alt. Can i run 2 seperate amperage alts? Down the road when money allows i could swap the stocker out for another HO unit. My a/c doesnt work anyway, so i just see that space as useful juice-makin room..lol

Anyone?

it would be beneficial to have the stock alternator running just the car and the 300a for just your amps.

Thats what i was thinking as well, is there any thing i need to look for with the 2 units being a different output? Im sorry for being such a noob with this stuff, i just dont have extra $$ laying around if i fux it up.

I am pretty sure people do this all of the time.

If you are going to be linking the alternators with an MLA module, you can't run them independently or their will be no voltage regulation.

The way you would have to do it is just run a 4" wire from the alt + to the other alt + and it would regulate the voltage.

I have 2 alternators and couldn't figure out why my batteries were seeing 18 volts until I called Chris and he told me how to fix it with that wire :o

If you have the stuff to do it then I would. Can't hurt anything adding an extra 105 amps to the setup. Either that or get the MLA to up the voltage out of the HO.
