[QUOTE="cmartinez73, post: 8858799, member: 689918"] I found a 320-amp alt from JS alternators but that battery looks pretty dam good thanks alot for that help! However I see that it says recommended charging is 13.8-14.8V, my JS alt would still charge factory amnt at 12V. That's confusing me because it says its compatible with factory charging? Also another thing, it says its not reccomended for underhood use, does this mean i need to use this as a 2nd battery or am i able to just relocate it elsewhere? Or do you think i need 2 batteries anyway? At 4kW the amp should use abt 190A and 166A at 3.5kW if so do they both need to be relocated somewhere not in the trunk? I saw an old post on my cars forums page of somone running 3 batteries (it was from 10 years ago so i cant ask for help) so i know its possible not sure how exaclty though. if i need to run this as a 2nd battery, what battery can I use under the hood of the car (I thought they were supposed to be the same, but I dont really know)? Please get back to me if you can it would help alot! [/QUOTE]
