Re: 2 Alternators

[Jon Ovington]

no way man, horrible idea.chase up an alternator that pumps out more amps.   the power loss of an other alternator, the extra room taken, the extra mounting / installation aren't worth it.   Make sure that it is actually your problem too, you have only stated the watts, go over the car with a multimeter and find your current draw, even a basic check at the battery.   An auto elec can also modify your alternator/s to put a lil more amps out.   Look into it before you start trying to get a second alt. on.   ------------------------------- Datnet  - Jon Ovington http://www.datnet.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Jesse Hinze To: OZDAT Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2000 9:07 PM Subject: 2 Alternators Hi list, I am thinking about whether it is worth putting a second alternator on my 120Y Coupe/A-12 to run just the head unit and amp. What do you think of this idea? I have already got a second alternator, the reason i am considering this is that the standard alternator does not produce enough amps to run everything. EG. The 2x100W driving lights, 2x250Watt amps, & heater.etc.   jess TIA --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
