Can i use this for new model cars (Grand cherokee 2014)? i think they got kind of smart alternator or something like complicated systems.

yes you can I have one on my 2014 Chrysler 300C I use it to have an extra battery for my sound system so like that I don't kill my engine starting battery

Just buy one big alternator I only used one and it charged all my batteries an ran all my amps .. Yea one big alternator is good don't waste ur money on two..

HI,1999 Yukon 5.7 has two kind alternatorboth are exchangeable except the plugI don't know which one is yoursif you like we can provide you the plug alsoif your plug is different you can modify the plugit's very simple . it's only one wire

It dose explain it but not well. all you do is connect positive and negative, start your car and check the voltage. if you have between 13.5 and 14.8 you should be good. although this can be done with a volt meter, for an accurate test of your alternator, you need an amp meter.

It shouldn't be a problem. An alternator only supplies 13 volts which shouldn't affect the charger. It would simply interpret this as a fully charged battery and go into a hold mode.

Sorry, can you say what the 2260 is? In general, it's possible to run identical panels in parallel, although there are some risks if they aren't generating exactly the same voltage. Typically, circuits with two generator sources (batteries, for example, but solar panels follow the same basic rules) use some mechanism to deal with different voltage outputs. The simplest is to just put a small-value resistor or diode in series with each generator to prevent the one with higher voltage from damaging the other. On your second question (car + solar), I don't know for sure, but I don't think it's a good idea, because your car's alternator will produce a higher voltage than these panels, and they will look like a load to the alternator, running current backward through them. That's probably not a good thing. As before, you could put diodes in series with the panels to prevent "reverse bias" and possible damage to the panels. I'm not actually aware of products that you could use for this purpose for cars. It's probably a bit too sophisticated for such a "low tech" application (stuff like this exists for solar systems for home power). But diodes should work fine. I think somebody in one of the reviews or questions mentioned a solution like this. It's cheap and easy (parts available from Radio Shack, for example).

I don't know. The Grand Cherokee is a different chassis than the regular Cherokee which they stopped making in 2001. If it fits your vehicle, I did find it to be a good product that works.

I'm not aware of the different vehicle applications -- I used this explicitly for a 2002 Jeep Liberty and it worked perfectly for that application.

This battery would be way too small for that. This is only good for 600 watts. So you would need about 8 of them. Your going to need an upgraded alternator for 10k watts

Have to say I haven't used it yet. Had a chance to use it last week, but car had 100K plus miles on it & I just changed the whole alternator

I have an 04 grand Cherokee (automatic unfortunate). It did little to nothing. My driving habits made a difference. The effect of it are unnoticeable. Sorry to disappoint.

To my knowledge all these tools do is wake up the sensors. They will read id's battery life etc. but you still need the car computer to read (or be told to read) the sensor. Most cars I've worked on automatically read the new sensor. Nissan is the only one I have consistently had to enter the car computer to recognize. Promised updates seem to be a problem with this tool.

A cars Alternator all ready has built into it a regulator which determines when to charge a battery therefore I believe (my opinion) it would affect the electronics of the ProStar. Plus I believe most alternators/generators put out more then 30amps (the most the ProStar can handle).

Yes you can use it for that automotive system. I checked the manual that came with mine.

I am not sure. I would take the car to batteries plus and see if they have something

That is what we purchased it for, however I'm not sure if it every car works that way, you should check your manual. We have a Prius and the ignition battery died so we used this and a jump start rechargable battery kit to start the car.

No reason not to. It's supposed to connect with any vehicle since 1996 when Detroit started installing OBD2 ports. Only problem I've heard so far is that the app doesn't yet include all MY2014 vehicles. Tried to connect to a 2014 Nissan Altima the other day, app only went through 2013
