You had a 16v system.
i was wondering how you were able to charge it. did you have a voltage regulator for your alternator? also did you use a step down resistor???


in other words what is necessary to run a 16v system.

first you could get a 16v batt with a 12v out as well, run this to your fuse box. most starters will take 16v. next you need a big alt(200A, there really is no reason for a 300A running at 16v, you may have a harder time with the external regulator under an everyday condition). then set up your regulator to like 17.4-17.6v. 2 8v or some 16v batts in the back.

also look in to this.

kinetik 16v has 12v hook up for your car and 16v for your audio system.

you need a external voltage regulator.. to make your alternator push the the voltage at 16v...

then u need 16 volt batteries for the back... but your main batterie has to be a 12 volt batterie and you have to buy a step down 14 volt regulator box from powermaster i beilve... so the 16volt signal it will change it back to 13-14 volts and feed your electrical system this is just for starting and the back.. but run a line from your alternator directly to the 16 volt battery bank...

and ull be set..

I use two dual voltage 12/16V racing batteries from Jegs and a single BatCap 8400 16V. The BatCap has its own charger so whent they are all hooked up together the one charger takes care of all the batteries at once. I have an Iraggi alt and external regulator but only use it if I do not have access to my charger when needed, I have no dimming at all because it runs fully off the bank. Polo..
