Ryan k. Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 So i was wondering could you run 3 batteries in parallel off of 1 high put altenator. What i'm saying is making 3 runs of power from the altenator to the 3 batteries in the back, then wiring them in parallel then running the 3 grounds to the frames off those batteries, and this would be a dual altenator setup, stock alt for the car and the high ouput alt just for those batteries.

Boon Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Just make one run of 0 gauge... you don't need 3 runs to charge 3 batteries. Also you only need 1 ground to the frame... Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treossi Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 make sure your grounding point isn't to some crappy 1/8th inch thick painted sheet metal surface Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmanson Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Alright thanks guys, so only one run for all 3 batteries then just wire them together? you are correct bro. now if you are running more than 3500rms then you might want to do two runs of position to the rear. don't forget the inline fuse(s) for underhood and before the bank of batteries ...... i'm sure you already know that though. Quote 2-DC 15XLM2 D.7s 1-DC 5K amp (1) XS Power D6500(UNDERHOOD) and (1) XS3000(REAR) 3 runs 1/0ga for power and 2 runs of 1/0ga for negative.

loganberry Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 the more runs the better, it wont hurt you to do 2 runs, grounding to the front battery is better imo, i like equal runs tho, thats why i have 4, 2+ 2- Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
