Alternator Question?

[charly]

Sorry if this has been discuss yet, but i had no time to search

My question is, does anybody knows how many amps the stock alternator
puts out.?


And the stock batterie?

[ctobio]

Battery ought to say how many CCA on the label.

Thanks guy's this really answered my question.

Now i need to know where can i find a alternator that can put 250 to 300 amp, or where can they rebuilt my stock and upgrade it so i can have 250 to 300 amp that i need. Thaks for your help.


Ps: I need all that amps for my audio system.

Because of size restrictions I don't think you'll find a 250 or 300 amp alternator for the Pilot. The most I've seen in the aftermarket world for Hondas is 180 to 200. There are a number of companies out there (just do a Google search on "high output alternator". Here's a link to Nations Auto Electric. They claim to offer applications for Honda as well custom orders.

Do you have everything installed now? Are you experiencing any problems like: drained batteries, not being able to start the car in the morning, car stalling, idle problems, etc.?

YES i have done research on that, and i've already done many phone calls
but i think they don't make parats specific for that alternator yet.

I have everything install already, and it maybe because i install two batt.
i don't see my lights going down. yeha the car will start fine and i got a multimeter and i often chek the batt, charge. an i see that is on the 13 to 14 volts en between. at what voltage should a batterie be when is complete charged?...

I'd be surprised if your audio system draws 300 amps continuously - that would be nearly 4000 watts of power and any audio system drawing 4000 watts would probably make you deaf in a few minutes.

If you're running a second battery, you probably have a sufficient storage reserve to handle the occasional transient of high power demand and the stock alternator should be able to handle the continuous load most of the time, depending on what other lights and accessories you have running. I'd monitor with a voltmeter and possibly an ammeter. I don't have specific information on the Pilot, but with most car electrical systems, a fully charged battery will show 12.6-12.8 volts statically (car not on), and 13.8-14.4 volts while running with the battery being slightly charged. If you're driving along and you start seeing voltages in the sub 13.5 range, you're probably in a discharge and once you are below 13, you're probably going to have a dead battery in a hour or two.

You only have one set of ears, so take it easy on them. I flew airplanes and rode motorcycles for many years without proper ear protection. My high freq response is gone and I have a idling 747 in my head all the time. No fun.

I would stick with the stock alternator until you have a problem. Keep monitoring the voltage like you have been and you should be able to catch a problem early on before getting stranded somewhere.

The Scangauge II is a nice piece to montior most of your car's vital stats. It includes battery voltage monitoring. Otherwise you could use a simple LED based monitor that you can mount somewhere on the dash or in one of the consoles.

THANKS guys for your opinion, but i just found out that my strada navi.
Has a voltage display and i can see at what voltage tha batteries. are I igree with ED27 i'll just keep it like that.


And about my ears. Don't worry because i don't turn it all the way up yet...
