What voltage are you trying to maintain in this build? And this is around 60K Rms correct?

Actually I might be interested in these to maybe feed the Q1-3500D.1 16 volts..

Starting voltage will be around 14v. Hoping to not drop over 1 volt.

I ordered another alternator today from Mike.

Started cutting and drilling all the small aluminum straps for the caps.

The buss bars are done also.

Maxwell used to make the black caps in 2.5v. Most new ones are 2.7v.

The green ones? From the manufacturer. I can get them. They don't sell to the public. Have to be a dealer and wire transfers. Blah blah blah. It's a hassle.

 On a SQ-3500D.1 @ 4300rms  at 14.4 how many banks do you think I would need to maintain a decent voltage with a mechman 320 amp?

Thanks,

Michael

Probably just a good group 31 battery would Br fine.

Never know. Try it and add if needed. Doesn't sound like you need caps. It's a big investment for a small system.
