Re: 16 Volt Battery
Robbie,
I've been using 16 volt Batteries for as long as I can remember - maybe 15 years or so. They won't efect anything your using currently including the the 7AL2 which I currently have. Just Charge them between runs with the Master off. They will go quite a few rounds without charging at all !

Re: 16 Volt Battery
Robbie,
I run ROCK 16v. Hvae since 2008. When I switched I called the companies and asked. Most said everything produced in the las 10 years was compatible(keep in mind that was 08). You should be fine, and like Chuck said keep the charged. Chip |

Re: 16 Volt Battery
Thanks for the replies guy's, I've order a battery and charger already. Can I still run my standard alt or do I need to switch to a 16V alt.

Re: 16 Volt Battery
speaking of the 14 volt battery. Since it requires a dedicated charger and alternator you may as well do the 16 volt package. The 16 volt deal is very good, once you try, you will always buy
And like Chip posted, my experience with Rock Battery's bought from Mark Payne is very positive [no pun intended] These comments are grounded in experience.

Re: 16 Volt Battery
Thanks for that info, my alt is from East Coast. Do you remember what they charged to do that?

Re: 16 Volt Battery
Most 16V manufactures profess their batteries will not discharge below 14V (I have always been skeptical of this claim), so is a 16V alternator necessary with a singe battery setup?
