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.

bigger size doesn't always equal more power
