First of all, the voltage adjustment allows the racer to change the set point of the voltage system while the unit is running. The set point is the level that the unit sees as the goal, the perfect level of the electrical system. On the XS VOLT, turning a small potentiometer on the back of the alternator can move this set point. The range is 13.5V - 18.5V, allowing one alternator to be used with 12V and 16V batteries -and anything in between. Charging sensitive gel batteries at low voltages or using the hybrid 14V batteries are not a problem for the XS VOLT. This means that one XS VOLT alternator will work with your car no matter what battery you choose. home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

None if it's fully charged makes no difference if from an alternator or battry charger. its charged. if it's needs attention crarging between rounds you can tell with a volt meter Was that reply to me? I wanted to know if the people running 16v were running 1 battery or 2? Then to verify that if they were just running 1 16 volt battery that charging between rounds was sufficient.

Raisin, I ran only one battery no alternator on 2 different cars and will do so again with my Dart. First my dragster that sees very little electrical draw due to belt drive fuel pump and alky carb. Tops off in 10mins or less after driving up to lanes a few restarts and a full pull and drive back. My Top Sportsman car add nitrous fuel pump and nitrous selanoid draw, longer cool down due to race gas and got towed to and from the lanes would take 15-25 mins to full charge. Hope this helps.

I want something that spins motor over faster than the (2) diehards i have now. I always wondered how it work on a street cars lights blinkers etc. Can 12 v bulbs handle the 16 v juice and how much is an alternator? Sorry to hi-jack........... Anymore data to be released on this topic? I'm thinking of going this direction. Curious about 12v bulbs....? If you like drag racing, support your local track.
