mbaty1 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hello All, With the number of members that have purchased H/O alternators (or from the Alternator Companies directly), I was curious what alternators seem to produce the best output at idle (or low rpm's)? I am looking to get a decent H/O alternator, but I keep reading/hearing that the 250-300 amp alternators only produce those numbers at crazy high RPM ranges and that some put out similar or less amps at idle rpms than some stock alternators. I have a '98 camaro and live in Texas, so not going to be removing the A/C unit and running dual alternators or anything like that. I plan on running an Xtant 1001 and an Xtant 604, so my amps will be drawing arounf 200 amps at full tilt.... any input would be truly appreciated!

CaptainzPlanetz Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 DC Power Alternators!/thread ...for real though 180 amps at idle while hot and 270ish amps maximum! I was gonna say this as well, I will be picking up that alt real soon for my car. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............ All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 We have a 270SP that will do 170-180 at idle with 270 amps of maximum output all day long, We also just released a 270XP that will do 190-200 amps at idle with a top end of 270 amps as well. We have a lot more stuff in the works in the pipeline as well. If you're interested in a quote, shoot me a PM. here are some vids of the 270XP this is the 270XP in my previous vehicle at idle.

SQMonte Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 When you bench them, are they under a load that simulates the kind of load they'd be under at idle in a vehicle?

Iraggi Alternator Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Idle is such a relative term. It greatly depends on your exact engine idle rpm. You must know your crank pulley diameter and engine idle rpm to know what a particular alt will do on your car at "idle". What motor is in your car? What is your engine rpm? What diameter is your crank pulley?

AI James Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 my opinion get a dc power and be happy with it for a long time, and not have worries if somethign does happen that you need help with....ive had alternators from pretty much every other alt company and i'll pass on all the shady tree's theres nothing worse then buying an alt from a company and them telling you later down the line....i dont have a record of you buying anything from me end of discussion.
