Recommended Posts

Sweet! They look great in there Steve!

i would just like to say its great marketing offering the "SMD Spec" unit to the general public instead of just an exclusive one time thing

until they see the price LOL - but these things have a LOT more work into them then the others.....

but ya if you got the dough, so far, this is the way to go! Ive only had em in for less then a week but if they are bulletproof like Matt says they are, its worth it.

yeah ive seen the price tag but for the idle/max amperage it seems fair compared to other alts ive seen that are 300-350 amps but have :bull: at idle

Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged

Correct me if I am wrong here but you can get away with charging them higher because you are spreading out the extra .7v over 10 batteries.

i dont know about all that.....seein's how each alt is technically taking care of 2.5 of the batteries each....but im not sure, maybe your right, i dont know.

i just know that i have been over 15.6 for a couple years now with no problems....but again, do so at your own risk because you should always follow manufacturers recommendations first.

If anyone wants to know, it doesn't matter how many batteries it is spread between. Current flow into a battery is what charges it. The current flow for the most part is related to the voltage difference between the charging device (the alternator in this case) and the battery, assuming no resistance in the lines and such. Two (or more) batteries in parallel means they all share the same voltage. One battery charging at say, 15.8 doesn't care if there are no more or 100 more batteries charging beside it as long as the voltage stays constant at 15.8. Now if the charging source (alternator) can't keep up the current to charge the batteries the charging voltage will drop until it can keep up with the required current. (similar to a voltage drop when your beat hits) As they charge there will be less current required so the voltage will go up towards the alt regulation.

In short, don't assume you can charge at a higher voltage because you have more batteries. Unless you have them in series, but thats a whole different situation entirely. lol.
