will a 140 amp powermaster alternator be big enough to charge 2 kinetic hc 3800 and 1 powermaster 2400 batteries.................

why don't you say it here,

so others can learn from your advice.

ok what do you all want to know?

as for shakers question, im suppsoing the charging he is speaking off is that what will be needed after you crack a tune for like a minute. Any alternator can re-charge those batteries its just the rate that it will charge those batteries at. The 140 amp will do it. A 200 amp will do it faster. A 300 amp will do it like lightning.

i disagree because my 110 alternator i had before would take 2 minutes at 2000 rpm to do a recharge to 13.8 after a 1 minute crank. My 300 amp will do it in 8 seconds now at 2000rpm.

It depends on the size of a battery bank as well. What if you took a battery bank comprising 20 kinetik 2400s and pulled 15000rms for 1 minute from it, the 140 amp will charge it back up the same rate as a 300 amp?

more like apples to pumpkin lol

what i saying is the 200 or 300 amp alternator will still charge back the small battery bank faster than the 140.

this calls for an experiment?

i was just at a padnas house playing around 6500 rms of 4 hc2000 kinetik and a 200 amp alternator.

From observing how his alternator was charging back those batts, i must say my alternator is on a different league altogether with its external regulator. I can recharge to my set voltage in less than 10 seconds, we were waiting over a minute for him.

at the higher voltage, it means that your batteries will start to absorb charge alot quicker! your alt wukkin...

noyztoyz, exactly what alt do you have?

noyztoyz · Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2009 12:40 pm Post subject:

a 300 amp excessive amperage with external regulator and dual external rectifier.

so i have a question, just because my voltage comes back up soon after cranking to where it was before crank, does that means that all the charge taken from my batteries have been replaced, or my alternator is double wukking in that it is giving enough current to charge the batteries back as well as maintain its set voltage?

it is ideal when your system voltage never fall below the resting voltage of your batteries!

with your vehicle on, your alternator is supposed to provide for all the electrical requirements of your vehicle..
