Dual alternator wirinh.

[Hanapi 8]

Howdy,

I installed my second Iraggi alt but am having trouble wiring the second one into the system without them fighting each other.

Anyone have any experience doing this??

fighting each other? explain? and did you wire them in series or parellel?

I wired them in parallel.

[CrazyKenKid 64]

explain this word fighting? i assume the belt is over both of the alts equally? also if they are hooked up in parellel (both going to the battery + post) have you considered running 1 alt to the rear batteries?

maybe i dont understand what fighting means?

Why don't you contact iraggi?

[Hanapi 8]

Yes good Idea. I'll ask Dom.

thanks Guys.

What I meant by fighting is that when the alt regulators sees the line voltage, they switch and stop charging. this is an ungoing thing so the charge light keeps going on and off. I am probably missing some module.

for duel alts i think you do need a regulator.

Both Amps have built in regulators.

I heard from someone that I need a dual alternator PCm and a wiring harness.

It is the PCM that regulates charging anyway.

I sent Iraggi alts an E mail but have not heard back yet.

DC Power told me that if u run dual alts, they need to both be using the same regulator.

If not... then each alternator has to have it's OWN battery bank.

Well...I'm getting pretty frustrated.

I was thinking of doing just that. having one alt charge two batteries and the other the other batteries.

I'll have to take two of the big amps and split them between the two battery banks. I guess just split all of them between the battery banks.

These alts have their own regulator built in..I wonder if I can change anything.
