I took the pic a few months ago. I asked about that. He said they had been there for a few months, no issues at that time.

I *told* him to order the big alternators... :P

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I thought you just needed to get bigger & more batteries...

And if that fails, a cap will fix everything!

Actually he has 3 separate charging systems. 1 for the OEM stuff. One set to 16 volts to charge the 8 volt batteries for some of the amps. One (2 alternators) set to 18 volts to overcharge the other set of 8 volts for some of the amps.

Those damned primitive SMPS amplifiers.

But they do provide lots of income for the industry - especially copper & lead LOL!

If only they were charging one set of batteries - I love watching alternators hunt themselves to death.
