not all alternators charge at 14.4v. most are actually 13.8
yea yea, i knew that. anywhere from 13.8 to 14.4. blah blah blah.

API took a great name and trashed it by using Chinese company's and crappy parts. maxxsonics is trying hard to rebuild the name with high end at a great price equipment. i don't think that any people would be running maxxsonics in competition like myself unless they believed it to be the best. i've asked will a few times to move it but he hasn't gotten around to it yet.
see my above post :p

edit: the 2nd post to this thread i mean

if it won't stay up around 13-14v then you're going to end up draining the battery... once the voltage drops that low it starts to use the battery as a source of power rather than the alt. and bad things happen!
