In B-Chi's Install...

[Red_Tekk]

Just wondered, what is the alternator output used for exactly?! How is this different from your usual positive battery output to a ground point on the chassis?!

[wampablo]

alternater powers your cars electrical system when the car is running and charges the battery

[Red_Tekk]

Right yeah, I understand what the alternator does just wondered how it is used in B-Chi's install? What application has it?!

[wampablo]

same as what it would do in any other install

[B-chi]

Nothing special about my alternator. Just has a bigger cable coming off it!

[Red_Tekk]

Thats what I'm asking, do you use it to power the amps etc?! I normally use the positive output from my battery?!

[B-chi]

Mate I'm confused. The alternator charges the batteries & the amps discharge the batteries.

There is nothing different in my charging system than the standard. I just use bigger cables!

[wampablo]

isnt that what i said ?

[B-chi]

Yeah.

The alternator isn't wired directly into the amps.
