[QUOTE="Lurius, post: 1406074, member: 564618"] Well I am looking into upgrading my alternator sometime after I finish off this current project, but have a question or two. Alright, my stock alternator is putting out 105A max, there is a HO model that came with some similar trucks, and the alternator is interchangable. I can get this HO model for about 80-120$, it puts out around 145A peak. My headunit and amps have a combined fuse rating of 130A, but I am trying to go a little overboard with the alt upgrade incase I have any future upgrades to audio, etc. Will 145A be enough to keep my battery charged with all accessories on(ac/heater, lights, etc) while playing my music at a decent volume, or do I need to go a little higher, like 200A? -Lurius PS: I hope the way I have worded this isnt too confusing lol.
