My system didn't keep my battery charged (one-wire GM alternator) so I replace it with a new one from a shop in California that winds their own. I purchased a 100 amp unit. Now, my ammeter reads in the positive range all the time and the battery stays fully charged. When I originally did the install, I accidentally pulled the charge wire out of a butt splice and the charge didn't even last long enough for me to make it to work. The car died at an intersection. I had the battery checked (it was OK), had it charged, reconnected the wire and all has been great ever since. I'm running two pusher fans, a 16" puller and a Phoenix Gold stereo power amp.
