Nathan @ XSpower Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 whats the best bang for the buck that i can get with about 600-700? Depends on how much room you have. 4 of the D1200 or 3 of the D3400 or D5100 would be a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will eventually run down your battery bank, and you will begin to notice problems. There are two solutions for this. 1. Buy a new alternator, 2. Buy a good charger, and charge every few days to ensure your bank stays full. There actually is another option, but that would be unheard of... you could turn down your stereo! :hairtrick: Quote XS POWER Batteries, Chargers & Accessories 888-4XS-POWER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmferio13 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 also the alt is a dbl linc 200 amp alt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiej Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 also the alt is a dbl linc 200 amp alt The alt you have has no output at idle... when your engine rpms slow down, the alt stops making power. This is a common problem with inexpensive high amp alternators. If your voltage is dropping to 13V, then the alt is not putting out any power at all at that point. A good quality 200A alternator will do at least 130A at idle... If you would like to know exactly how much power your alt makes at idle, you can send it in for a free evaulation, and we can send you back a performance report.
