I have a 1998 C1500 chevy truck with a 100 amp alternator and I was wondering if that is ok to power a Rockford punch 800.2 amp running at 200w rms @4 ohms X 2 ? It all seemed ok till last week when I noticed the volt gauge inside my truck start bouncing back and forth for 13V to 14.2V while I am stopped and idling . I checked battery voltage,charging system voltage with the stereo on and off .I also load test the battery .All my tests showed that everything is good . What should I check next ? I think it might be the battery ,because it is about 4 yrs. old and might be starting to die ? This system worked great when I installed it . Any info would be real helpful

Thanks,

Tony

Headway lithium charging
14.6 is max charge for headway. 3.65 volts per cell. There should not be any voltage drop from your alternator wiring to battery so 14.8 is too high.
