Check Out Iraggi Alts!
www.iraggialternator.com
Q:What is having a more powerful HO ALT useful for?
A: They're great for big sound systems or any power hungry installation that demands a lot of current! They will keep your batteries topped off much better than a lower amp unit, especially during extreme use where more amps are needed to replenish whatever battery bank you have!!!
FAILED Alternator Symptoms:
Failed amperage bench test (at local shop)
Constant dead batteries or low voltage light
Not keeping batteries charged up (maintained)
Hard time starting engine (caused by dead batts)
No power steering or brake assist
Strange noise or loud noises while spinning

Watch you off and on for years. This video has convinced me to subscribe, nice to see that you understand the purpose of the alternator and batteries any charging perspective. It's funny I work for AutoZone, nothing is more tiring than trying to explain to a customer very bad battery will kill an alternator and a bad alternator will kill a battery. Alternators are not meant to charge your battery they are meant to maintain a full charge.

@georgesrisomsak9650 4 жыл бұрын

I wrench for a living, and see this salt stuff more than I like. A few tips Jerms! 1st, you live in salt central, and what your seeing is corrosion. A product called fluid film, and a good pressure washing will remove and prevent it in the future. Needs to be applied annually to continue to protect. When working on salted vehicles, always use penetrant on all exposed threads before turning wrenches, to alleviate the rust stiction, and prevent thread damage. Use channel locks to hold the wire end when drilling, the bit sometimes catches the edge and could rip the connector off or cause injury. Have you clamped the alt at full output yet? I'm curious what a 320a small case is capable of! Idle current seemed decent!

@frankunderwood8357 3 жыл бұрын

That depends on your average power consumption. As long as you don't crank it up to a very high volume all the time you won't run down your batteries. For instance: a sub system that consumes 1000w at 130db will only consume 125w at 121db, witch is still a healthy volume. Your batteries store about 2000wh of energy while your alternator spits out about 900w after a certian engine rpm (at idle it will be significantly less). It all depends on the size of your system, how loud you play and for how long at a time.
