16v Battery Systems.....

Altronics · 08-09-2011, 11:34 AM

I run the 1200Amp cell, with 25A charger in my super stock. After a normal run it takes 15-20 minutes to completely recharge battery. Pretty nice not to have to run gengerator all day to charge anymore!

At only 9 lbs I can make 3 runs without charging and battery has still got more!

As I'm not concerned with weight.... have to run ballast, I've got 2 Powermaster 1000's. been running since 06. Can run all weekend and not charge batteries, doesn't drop below 16.2 volts. Bought their batteries and charger been very happy with both. Sure is nice to know it's gonna start every time no grunting, spins engine like there's no plugs in it. Joe

I'm in my second season running 16v. Everything works better. When I start the car hot on the return road you don't even hear the starter crank, it comes to life immediately. Man, are the gauges brite at night. Cool down only takes a couple of minutes. I run Turbo Start's and got everything from East Coast Auto Electric. They were helpful and they are a sponsor. If anyone is interested I have a 42 lb Turbo Start for sale as I went to two 32 pounder's.

As all of you know I bracket race a lot. Last year July 4th weekend. Piedmont dragway had 2- 5 k on saturday and a 10 k on Sunday. I double entered my car:
1st race 5th rd and 6th rd
2nd race 5th rd and SF
3rd race SF and WIN.
In less than 30 hours I made 52 runs on my car.
On SUndays race the last 4 rounds I was going straight back to the lanes with no charge at all.
I run 2 Rock 16v and No alternator.

I would call Mark Payne and get the entire setup from him.Battery-Charger-and alternator.
Ask for the Legend discount.LOL
