PUNKYOU007 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 could be done without harm to the stock electrical if he runs a second alt and battery bank completely separate from the stock stuff right?

slam Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 could be done without harm to the stock electrical if he runs a second alt and battery bank completely separate from the stock stuff right? you can do it with 1 alty and have both 16v and 12v Quote TSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassheader505 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I HAVE 12V BATTS..I HAVE DC POWER 270 ALTS..AND IM RUNNING 15.4 VOLTS..I HAVE AN AQ3500..TWO BTL D1s. IM ACTUALLY AROUND 15.5-.6..I LOVE IT..IVE SEEN PEOPLE AROUND 13.8..ID BE SAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slam Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 you need to charge any batt 2v above. 12v batts charge at 14.4 16v charge up to 18.5. depends on the batt Quote TSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKBass Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 wilson do you want 16v batts and if so you need 18v charging system for them or do you just want a alt that will run high 15s charging?

Wilson Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Thanks for all the input. I am still willing to read good links, etc., so I can understand this concept better. In response to AKBASS's post (just above this one), I would be feel satisified with appr. 15.-15.25 volts. I don't necessarily want to go to the further cost/effort of installing 16/18, and I don't want to complicate my feeble mind. My air cond unit is gone and that will house some sort of ho alternator, while also keeping my stock alt. Still, running seperate electric systems (one @ 13v, one @16/18)seems a little excessive if I can hit appr 15.1 volts without doing that whole higher voltage gear process. I assume running a lesser voltage or stock voltage system would require a larger amount of reserve power so the voltage wouldn't drop below it's 15v max (or drop much). Is 15 really doable with regular batt's and alt's? After contemplating the two paths everyone seems to be speaking of (easier 15v system with lots of reserve for little voltage drop, or buy expensive 14/16 type stuff), I wonder if 15v is cool for stock. I guess it is ok, since your achiveing it with stock voltage alt's and batteries. Not trying to drill everyone out, I appreciate help or places to read up on this.

jmitch Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Unless your a very big competitor, I would advise u to not bother. It's not worth it for a daily driver!
