I wasn't sure weather to put this under electrical or here.
My MK , has a 50amp alternator. I have just installed a second battery and have yet to hook it up and am thinking that I will need a bit more than 50 amps.
I see two alternatives
One to to get a X-trail or similar alternator, if I can find one with a V pully and looking for about 100 amps.
I expect to upgrade the wiring a bit and remove the external regulator but essentially run it all from that .
Two is to install a second 50A alternator on the other side of the engine to feed the second battery. Good voltage regulation, great redundency, and I have enough room.
Has anyone had any experience with either of these ideas and if so do you know of any hidden traps?
