My battery is pretty much shot. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif I will be upgrading my battery to maybe a 120amp or 140amp alternator for extra juice. Also my battery will be in the truck connected via 0 gauge wires. The alternator wire will upgraded to a 2 gauge wire as well as the starter.
1. Should I go with a dry cell or wet cell? Deep cycle or normal? Keep in mind I a moving to my truck. I think I should be able to run a wet cell since the trunk isn't really inside my car. I could also easily vent it.
2. Do I what should I change my fuses for the alternator since it is getting larger and a 140amp alternator? Do they make fuses that large in that weird looking fuse type? It might be cheaper for me to get inline fuses or even a breaker.
3. Did you guys change anything else when upgrading your alternator? I plan on making a heat shield to divert hot air away.
Any input is appreciated.
