Another HO alternator and Batt's Question....

300

the biggest you can fit/afford. you can never have too much electrical

ask whoever makes the alts and tell them how much power you'll have and how you'll be using it. 300a might do nothing at idle so for a daily driver that could be a problem. Not all HO alts are created equal...

The 300 amp alternator man.

I would suggest something around the 270 amp to 340 amp range, depending on the application. In addition, a good battery bank will round out the system. Our 270 amps do outperform our 320 amp alternators at idle (800 RPM) output but the 320 will exceed the 270 in output at cruise speeds. Some food for thought. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Thanks!
