Not being sure of the Yandina combiner size, I ordered a 100 then when reading the instructions it talks about 100 amp alternator limits. Should I have ordered the 150 instead? Anyone using the 100?
Thanks

Richard, they "standard" reply to your question is "Are you sure you really have an alternator that will output more than 100 AMPS, and what kind of batteries to you have that will ACCEPT a charge of more than 100 AMPS ??
I suppose if you can really answer yes to either of these questions, a 100 AMP combiner MIGHT not be enough, but "Yandina"(what's her real name) will give you a straight up answer.

actually im thinking of running one of these, would have to do a pulley swap, but with 200 amps, this would charge the hell outta the battery bank im planning, and would run the beefed up eletronics including an electric fan.

oh but it will power a host of other high demand electric items, such as electric water pump and fan assembly, bank of air compressors, inverters, and what ever else I think of adding in the future. can never have enough available power. also a high amperage alt means more available to power an on board entertainment system which is necessary to keep others riding in the rig from constaintly asking "are we there yet?"

Shan,
If you are going to insist on trying this, you had best plan to convert to a double belt or serpentine.
In my boat work, I have frequently been asked to upgrade alternators for all types of sailboats that want to run the engine a minimum time to recharge the house bank. I was advise by several alternator suppliers and have also proved on several installations that a 100 amp alternator will tax a single belt to its limit. Any more and the belts will have a very short life (like in minutes). Trust me on this. If you want to hear the stories, you have to buy the beer.
This installation usually requires a three stage (sound familiar)regulator with a current limiting capability. You don't want to even ask what the installed cost is. . .

oh I'm quite familure with the inadequacies of the olds stock V Belt system and V belts in General. I've been looking to go to a serpentine system, Ive seen some of the ones for sale but with pleanty of the CfC cars currently in mens malls everywhere im thinking of seeing what I can scare up from there and attempt a "home made" version. I run 130 amp units in my cars, and also plan to go to a 200 for them as well simply because after a stereo system and other stuff gets added I find I wind up needing a lot of juice to keep stuff happy
