Advice on Installing High Output Alternator?
Question:
Can you recommend an alternator manufacturer? I would like to install a 150A unit. Do I have to change my wiring between this new alternator and my house bank? I imagine I will have to change the fuse also.
Answer:
When implementing alternator output upgrades we recommend the following:
- Electromaax alternator that is high output at low rpm
- Electromaax regulator
- Pulley kit might need to be installed to drive anything over 90 amp. This will switch you drive from v-belt to serpentine. Serpentine is the best option.
- You’ll need to change the DC wiring between your alternator, both positive and negative to house bank, including the fuse.
