[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8483170, member: 661255"] A little update. I load tested my electrical system today to see what the alternators actually put out at idle. I forget how much each one did individually :/ With all three high output alternators connected to the five group 49 batteries in the back (400ah), we loaded down my electrical as much as possible with the carbon pile machine in the shop. Pulling over 500 amps at idle from the system, it dropped to 9v at the lowest and ALMOST killed the engine, but didn't. The dial indicator on the machine only reads up to 500 amps, but we buried the needle way past that!

The lowest it drops to with my system full tilt at idle is 13.7v HOT on long notes. [/QUOTE]
