[QUOTE="DarkKnightSM, post: 8629128, member: 672612"] Don’t be lazy about doubling up from the alternator. I don’t remeber your battery setup or if it’s an HO alt, but giving more space for juice to flow through all around is def better. Your alt recharges your batts, and if your over 180 amps on a regular basis, then from alt to batt to amp doubled. If you have a second battery, or multiple good batteries that are overkill for your current setup and you don’t bang on your system regularly, you should be able to get away with just from the aux batteries. Just know either your alt might have a hard time keeping up, or your wires will get hot from the alt will now start getting hot, if your over 180 amps or 2500 Watts. You want your electrical to be up to par for performance and like longevity of your system [/QUOTE]
