I have an ad244 alternator rated at 145amp tested it puts out 174 amps at 3k rpmanother question to ask with that much draw is what alternator are you using?
I am running an Optima Yellow top staggered cell battery in the trunk of my Monte along with a DC Power 180 amp alternator that puts out 130 amps at idle, I have Intrepid dual fans and a 16" pusher fan and a fan on my trans cooler and I am also running a Paxton 300 fuel pump and an EMP electric water pump. Most of my wiring is 1/0 fine strand copper wire including my alternator power wire and I have 2 gauge going to my accessory panels coming off my remote solenoid.
I have everything wired to relays and with this set up I still have 14+ volts with everything on.
I believe it is this one, I bought it probably 15 years ago and it is still going strong but it is also on a maintainer when not in use.which size yellow top do you have if you don't mind me asking?
ok thanks for sharingI believe it is this one, I bought it probably 15 years ago and it is still going strong but it is also on a maintainer when not in use.
