audiofanaticz Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Now we got 2 different alternator manufactors (DC Power Engineering, and iraggi), both of who dont see eye to eye and are at stiff competition at with each other. However they both agree on the samething and say DONT DO IT! But yet you do it, not too smart in my opionion and others as well These guys aint just saying this to make a sale, there saying this for you to be safe! yes i know it stresses the alt, i dont even have an amp hooked up at this time, just doing it to help top off my batts, should be getting a better alt at the end of march at that time i will be removing this, i was more interested in seeing how it works \my stock alt is pretty rugged for being stock, so we will see how it fairs Well... with that said... buy a battery charger, and charge your batteries periodacly. It will help your batteries way more then 1 stinking extra volt will. Your stock alt is not "beefy or ruggeg" whichever you said, it is simply STOCK just like every other stock alt, that has a stock Stator and a stock Rectifier, and stock everything else. If your after 15 volts grab yourself a DC Power, most of them seem to charge in that 15-15.4 volt range with no dummy load, external regulator, or mla module.

Works great.

kmalinich Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 i have this mod done to my 97 pontiac bonneville.. i only brought it up to 14.8v though... at the alt... in the harness and at the batt it's 14.4v. before the mod i only saw 12.5-13v because the alternator is nothing without the regulator sense wire.
