Alternator upgrade

Post by Eyeman »

I'm considering upgrading my alternator (KZ-TE) to help with charging the main battery as well as the auxillary battery in the loadbox and/or trailer. Does anyone have experience or advice in this regard?

Hi Grant, had the same done to my SFA 2 years back, they basically take your existing alt and rewire it. Cost was about R500.00, but difficult to measure the gain as it take hours (8+) hours to charge a deep cycle while driving!
