Post Number: 5186 Registered: Apr-06 | You had a 16v system. i was wondering how you were able to charge it. did you have a voltage regulator for your alternator? also did you use a step down resistor??? in other words what is necessary to run a 16v system. |

Post Number: 17353 Registered: Oct-05 | first you could get a 16v batt with a 12v out as well, run this to your fuse box. most starters will take 16v. next you need a big alt(200A, there really is no reason for a 300A running at 16v, you may have a harder time with the external regulator under an everyday condition). then set up your regulator to like 17.4-17.6v. 2 8v or some 16v batts in the back. |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Http://illuzonemu.serv..., ^^^Sick Game Post Number: 7593 Registered: Feb-06 | you need a external voltage regulator.. to make your alternator push the the voltage at 16v... then u need 16 volt batteries for the back... but your main batterie has to be a 12 volt batterie and you have to buy a step down 14 volt regulator box from powermaster i beilve... so the 16volt signal it will change it back to 13-14 volts and feed your electrical system this is just for starting and the back.. but run a line from your alternator directly to the 16 volt battery bank... and ull be set.. |

The BatCap has its own charger so whent they are all hooked up together the one charger takes care of all the batteries at once. I have an Iraggi alt and external regulator but only use it if I do not have access to my charger when needed, I have no dimming at all because it runs fully off the bank. Polo.. |
