WHAT??? omg are you fking blind?

what is the point you are trying to convey here?

The voltage regulator controls the field current applied to the spinning rotor inside the alternator. When there is no current applied to the field, there is no voltage produced from the alternator. When voltage drops below 13.5 volts, the regulator will apply current to the field and the alternator will start charging. When the voltage exceeds 14.5 volts, the regulator will stop supplying voltage to the field and the alternator will stop charging. This is how voltage output from the alternator is regulated. Amperage or current is regulated by the state of charge of the battery. When the battery is weak, the electromotive force (voltage) is not strong enough to hold back the current from the alternator trying to recharge the battery. As the battery reaches a state of full charge, the electromotive force becomes strong enough to oppose the current flow from the alternator, the amperage output from the alternator will drop to close to zero, while the voltage will remain at 13.5 to 14.5. When more electrical power is used, the electromotive force will reduce and alternator amperage will increase. It is extremely important that when alternator efficiency is checked, both voltage and amperage outputs are checked. Each alternator has a rated amperage output depending on the electrical requirements of the vehicle.

cuz that is all fact... it came right from a published ASE tech manual....

You said you didn't say something. I said you did. I proved that you lied. It's not that hard to comprehend. This is why I keep calling you an idiot... because you clearly are.

lied? really? where?

nevermind ur right I am wrong go off to your fantasy land...

you are so wrapped up in this that you are confusing what you said with me...

no biggie I am a loser remember? I don't have a clue about anything related to cars or car audio or how to spell...

have a nice day.

lied? really? where?

Lol here:

where did I ever say it has low voltage limits... you are confusing what you said with me...
quote me where I ever said it...

you are more than likely correct in how a regulator works in regards to "YOUR" field but this is car electronics 101:
The Voltage Regulator

The voltage regulator can be mounted inside or outside of the alternator housing. If the regulator is mounted outside (common on some Ford products) there will be a wiring harness connecting it to the alternator.

Lol the first part is true. I proved I'm right. You just lied etc. It's now here in black and white that even after being PROVED wrong you still lie HAHAHA

you are so wrapped up in this that you are confusing what you said with me...

Not me.....

no biggie I am a loser remember? I don't have a clue about anything related to cars or car audio or how to spell...True

have a nice day.

I will/have.

Hey nice job of posting good electrical theory and facts about alternators, rectifiers, voltage, and current. Most of which has gone right over the head of some people but all very good. This did need to be done though because of all the people on this forum constantly giving bad info. Batteries are not the answer to a strong audio system. People are being cheated out of their hard earned money by all the battery salesmen on this site.

Thank you.

not a battery salesman idude... so believe what ya want and tell all the "real" competitors that batteries are worthless...

and like you said sexy "theory" not fact...

h/o alts have a very good place in car audio but not for 1400 watts...

gave up talking to a wall big difference... and again you still say i lied and posted a quote but never point out the supposed lie...

i quoted a published print manual page that reinforced what i said nothing more...

Real competitors? Am I not real? Lets see I am ranked 2nd in North America 4th in the world in my class of db drag. I have three HO alts and lots of batteries. YOU?

Your just going to get owned be me so quit while your behind.

Lol I did. I posted the quote of you saying you didn't say it. Then I posted the quote of you saying it. You fail so hard dude. Now you know that other people see it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Blame 1 batt for your voltage drop? lol

Lol!!! 1400 watts? Dude I run a dc 270sp alternator and 1 battery on a DD z-se(6000 wrms). The voltage does not drop below 14.4 volts. I also compete and do 152db sealed at the dash on music. You have never done any of this. You do not know what you're talking about

Edit: I'm clamping 2945watts due to impedence rise but that is still healthily more than the magical 1400w barrier you are imagining.
