Alternator Voltage Booster

[Patassa]

Interesting andecdote, I installed this sans audio amplifier, was sitting happily at 14.3ish volt at cruising speed. Installed my amp today, back down to 13.6V. Time to pony up for high output alternator and upgrade the big 3 with 0/guage. Will report back with results.

Just the stock one on my 2005 100. FYI, Scan Gauge will read about 0.1-0.2V lower than actual voltage at the battery. I hardwired an in-cab voltage monitor to my starter and house battery. You can see the difference with the Scan Gauge.

Where is the in cabin volt meeter taking the reading from?

I see that I am not the only one who is suffering from wildly fluctuating voltage. I recently had my dying OEM alternator replaced with a 250-amp unit a few months back; Big-3 was done; an HBK voltage booster fuse was added as well, and life was good at a steady 14.8 volts... for a month. Now it bounces between 13.3 and 13.5; I need it at least 14.4 for my amps. Looks like my next stop is JS alternators for a 320-amp unit with a Harrison Labs VSS-100A unit to follow later on. For those not familiar with HL gear, if you have a healthy electrical system, this unit pins the voltage at 14.7 for anything downstream of it; it does not go up or down...14.7 at all times.

Flux capacitor lol. Let me know how the future is, future boy.
