Alt install help, vid inside

Recommended Posts

13v is good for batteries, so there charged, dont worry about that.

Oh and yeah you can charge all your batteries by putting the charger on your starting battery, as long as the rear batteries are connected to the starting battery. Although the rear batteries may get a better charge if you put the charger on them from the back.

The alternator case is the grounding point, so when it's bolted in, the chassis is grounded to it, and negative battery terminal.

So if the alt case has a place to connect some extra wire to the negative battery terminal, that works. If not, not an issue, I'd actually be surprised if it had a place for an additional ground.

Wire from positive stud on alt goes to positive battery terminal.

Yeah, it has a place for an additional ground, but it totally makes sense what you're saying.

disconnect all three batts for about 10min, then measure voltage on all batts. they should all be 13v.

Re-measure in an hour to make sure they are still reading the same...

If any batt is sagging below 13v, charge it independently.
