I brought a new rebuild to the alt shop near me and they turned 120a to 220a. Plus a big 3 upgrade with 1awg pure copper welding cable. My battery is an optima yellow top dual post. I forgot the model but its the best one they had. Thanks to those upgrade i cant get voltage drop if i try...and ive tried lol

Excuse me gentlemen. May I be so crass as to ask, "why do you need so much power?" Are you trying to run a transmitter or something?
