Question

i was thinking of getting a 200 - 220amp high output alternator, what would be the best battery for this kind of alt?? i know people would have dif opinion in brand but what should i look into about the battery?? Thank You. oh and yes its for my my stereo and amp ect.

Answer 1

I will guess that you have a high output stereo system. The Battery is used to start the car,the alternator runs the car. So I would get 450 amp battery. Make sure the Alt. your getting has a voltage regulator to match it's output,so you don't cook the battery.If you have a Chrysler later model,the voltage regulator is in the computer,so do your home work before making the move. This will save you a lot of head aches

Answer 2

if its not for starting the car, just for your sounds then i would go with a high current car audio power cell instead of a battery because they are made just for sounds and can be mounted in a lot more positions (upside down, on the side) and  Kinetik makes the best ones

Answer 3

How much power are you running?  I would suggest a Power Master D3100 or Kinetik HC2400 because im guessing your running 2500-3000rms.  You could also look into Odyssey, SPL Cell, Bat Cap, Stinger and DC Sounds.

Answer 4

I'd definitely get a bigger battery then a 450.  I think I run an 850 in my Jeep.  If your factory battery is still working good, maybe it will be enough.  If you're just looking to replace the battery, check out some of these brands ...

Answer 5

it really depends on the total amount of watts your sytem is. the alt will charge any battery it just depends on how much juice is needed to power your amps efficiently. I think the rule of thumb is 1amp for every watt. check out kinetik batteries web www.kinetikaudio.com.
