My stock alt is only about 80amps and I had some problems with my charging system when I was running a sx900.4. Now I have plans to get a new alt an EA quoted me $365 for a 180amp and then on ebay I found an Iraggi but the Iraggi is 200amp/90idle. My question is Is 90 at idle alrgiht? |

It is ok, you just can't play the system full blast with it at idle.
Most HO alts only do around 100 amps at idle, its hard to get more than that. |

That's why I raised my idle  Stopping isn't that easy though lol.My brakes get destroyed pretty quick but it's worth it.It's cheaper to replace brakes than it is my subs or amps |

Thats not good for your engine and transmission either....... I would never change the idle out of spec on any of my vehicles. My alternator does 100 amps at idle at it supports my 3kw system just fine, I just dont blast it at stoplights and such. |

No, batteries are not a substitute for an HO alt. |

a second batt in addition to the HO will help at idle, because when driving the alt will recharge the batteries. |
