Monday, March 10, 2008 - 22:08 GMT I can get a Excessive Amperage 300 amp alt with 13-20v regulator for my car for 410 shipped. I have a "275 amp" but the idle is weak. Should I pull the trigger?

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 00:12 GMT How good do you think the idle's going to be with a 300 amp alt? (hint, as regular amperage increases idle usually drops)

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 00:46 GMT I'm not sure. Its just when I had my Niche in I would have drops in the 12 volt range at idle, and my stock battery (though it was 4 years old) eventually stop holding a charge. I figured a new alty might help me. I know my sit fine with no equipment in and when I had my stuff driving around @ 2000 rpm everything was cool.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 01:54 GMT What I was getting at is the idle probably won't be any better than what you have now.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 01:58 GMT Well he checking on the idle amperage and regardless the thing just looks beefier and I am weary about mine because of the way my voltage has been.
