hi,i have the gm alt145 amps w/ dual batteries,reading the forums. is this exiceter required and hook up diagram to install correctly.is it just an on

Not sure I understand your question ....."IS THIS EXICETER REQUIRED" ? If you get the one I ordered, ie 200 amp, the directions in the box are very easy to follow & install. I have a 195 amp alternator and two 4D batteries and one 8D battery and it work very well for our application. It keeps about 14 volts on the two 4D batteries. I have a meter on them all the time and can check while driving down the road. If you have any more questions feel free ..... mlhusmann@gmail.com

Also be sure to make sure you have your radio code if required, if you choose to disconnect the negative battery terminal while installing. Good luck

I purchased two of these and they both burned out in just a few days at the rated voltage. So I don't have them any more. I'd try to get a tech sheet and find the resistance of the control circuit and divide the applied voltage by it (If you have a 12 volt battery and the resistance is 1000 ohms you would get 0.012 amps, or 12mA, though you should check the voltage of your battery with a meter (Measuring th evoltage of the battery will get the alternator voltage too) it's probably closer to 14).

I used 14 AWG stranded, because I use it as a constant fan for my truck. I also used a relay with an inline fuse to the battery for power, grounded to a good ground for power and switch ground. I attached the positive of the relay switch to a switch leg and back to a power source that is only on when the key is in the ignition at on position. check your manual or use a multimeter and test fuses that are only on with the key and off when the ignition is off. This protects your battery from drain and your electrical system from a fire. Maybe over kill but I had a vehicular fire under both gasoline and electrical (not proud of it just grateful to be alive). I hope that was of some help.

You want a larger amp charger for autos. The G750 is okay for small batteries to keep them active in storage.

I used the tree wire but make sure you use the supplied wire in addition to the stock one to help the amps get to your batteries also double check your grounding size wire to make sure it can handle 140amps

You can hook direct off battery if that is easier for you, the small amp draw would be no drain on battery. Make sure you have a on/ off switch. It would be recommended to install a fusible link in the live wire, you can buy these links anywhere automotive acc are sold. Just a length of wire wirh a spot to insert say a 15 amp square fuse.

I wired mine directly to my battery. My battery is right next to amp in my corvette. I bought a hookup kit for mine. Comes with everything you need.

the amp has two wires which attach to the battery, positive/negative. Be sure not to cross the wires. If you blow the fuse they are hard to find and you will have to buy them at your local radio shack.... I attached them directly to the battery and then used the remote on/off button for power. it is very easy to install.

Hi Terry, I am a happy owner of four products of the GMAX series. The 22262 is for the GMAX battery system, which is also compatible with their other GMAX series (BTW, I can recommend the Twinblade Lawn Mover sold at LOWE's only). Be careful to get the right mix of Products and batteries, only GMAX series, since it is more powerful than the GEN 1 system. I would try to buy combinations with the 4 AMP battery only; the 2 AMP does not last long enough.

After years of advancing in car audio i would never use a Farrad battery again. Not even on a small build, IMO its a waste of $ and time. Upgrade main battery with the big 3 0 gauge used for best performance on a small system.I run a HO alt, 4 batteries, 12 fuses, 100+ feet of 0 gauge OFC wire, I have a couple grand in electrical system.

I understand why you would have the amp turned down but........correct power wire will give clean signal to your subs which is more important than keeping your gains down.......so to answer your question buddy, it is OK but we don't agree with ok.....we need 0ga in that vehicle.......also look into getting an upgraded alternator "only if you plan on keeping the vehicle. ......, phill

Try going to the STANLEY web-site and look for support. The Amp Jumper is almost self-explanatory but the manual can give you some additional help.

It's recommended for 4 AWG & 8 AWG. 6 AWG is right in the middle so it shouldn't be an issue. One side should connect to the battery and the other side should connect to the power on the amp. All you have to do is unscrew the end caps, put your wires in and tighten down the allen bolts on both sides. THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A FUSE. So you'll need to buy an AGU fuse to complete the connection 40, 60, 80, or 100 depending on your amp. The fuse is placed in the center of the holder. Hope this helps.

Not sure, I would ask a GM dealership, due to being an electrical component. The amp went out as I en route to golf. Static a couple of times out of sound system, then "staticy" sound from 1 speaker, then no sound altogether. Knew what problem was right off the bat. Purchased new one & installed, no problems since.

From most people I hear in car audio, they say a second battery is not the way to go. Just puts more strain on the alternator. It's better to have 1 big battery, if anything just get a larger battery. I have 4 sets of 3 way components and 12" sub powered by 2 600rms amps. My voltage stays completely stable on a stock alternator with just one of these batteries. Rule of thumb is to take your amps combined RMS wattage and thats what you'll want in a battery.
