How can I tell if this will work on my 2008 Xterra w/V6? I don't know what amperage my alternator is rated at...

I apologize but I cannot answer your question directly. Mine did not function so I would have a difficult time recommending the item. Also most modern vehicles have a larger than 90 amp alternator. You should be able to find the specs on yours by research. You could also go to an auto parts store and asking what amperage an OEM replacement alternator is.

Ok the xterra most of the have 110 amp to 130 amp alternator it all depend on what application your going to use it for or it wont work as example 1986 Ford e-150 the alternator is 75 amp but I put a 90 amp Isolator to run two batteries to run a 6000 Watt inverter but you have to put a bypass switch to keep your battery from unchanging when not in use if you have anymore questions feel free to ask

Alternator rating is not important on this, the 90 amp is fine for general dual battery isolation, BUT if your going to be drawing over 90 amps at any point off the 2nd battery (like for a big inverter) you may want a 140 amp, or the 200 amp so you dont experience a voltage so low you overheat it. It's good for use with a constant 75 amp load (800 watt inverter) type set up. A 140 will isolate and power assist a 1500 watt inverter. This is how you safely keep your starter battery fro getting drawn down. Just keep the NOCO 10% or so bigger than the intended max draw you will place on your RV or Coach style batteries. A 14O is the most common for a small vehicle making the host charge. A 90 is more for a second battery for a boat for trolling, lighting ect.

I put mine on a v6 chevy 4.3 with a 100 amp alternator. Im sure it will work fine on a v6 xterra

Call your local auto parts store and ask what the stock OEM alternater is rated at, you will need additional parts like cable and mounting trays ect. Go on you tube and see some set ups

Capacitor won't do because it's only going to charge as much as your alternator will allow your best bet is to get a high output alternator but it's deffinetly worth the investment these amps are beasts I started with one of them and with my subs try blow my buddies jl w7s right out of the water with his jl amp

I'm not sure about it,but the amps,rpm and voltage are very close,it might work.Sorry.

I have no clue about the amps, as I was NOT able to fit i on any steering wheelst. It is TOO SMALL! I tried my car, my friend's car, my daughter's car - does not fit ANY of them!

I remember researching this before. The manufacturer won't say exactly. Read the forums on nPower. I might be able to figure it out with my multimeter when I get home. I thought theoretically, you could figure it out with an equation. it was enough to start my v6 2.1L engine. The inverter to ac isn't much. If my calc is right, 400W at 120V is only 3.3A on AC, but you can't expect much from a 12v battery. I thought dc was supposed to be infiinite, but I suppose you're looking for cranking amps. Overall, I was very pleased with how the nPower performed. I went a couple of months before finally diagnosing my car battery. The nPower got a fairly large engine through a cold Wisconsin winter with a bad cell in a relatively small car battery.

I don't really know. Check measurements l x h x w if amperage is the same along with measurements you should be good.

Good question. Nowhere on the battery does it specify amps. It does say that it's a 18V XRP and has a part number, DC9096. Hope this helps. Chester

The unit I got did not have "HD" in the part number, so I assume it's good for 100 amps. I needed one for a 160 amp alternator.

Plan on installing this on my 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Limited, 5.2L engine. Have added 30amps of off road lights and the existing alternator of 90 amps and 250,000 miles makes some noises (abnormal) when I switch the lights on, so I'm fairly sure upgrading the alternator is a wise choice. Is this a direct replacement or will I need to make any modifications? If modifications are necessary, what are they? advise? Thanks in advance. Backyard Mechanic....

Corey I'm just not sure, although I would suspect that it will work. Go to a site like www.xterraownersclub.com/forums.html and see if someone there might have the definitive answer. In any case, before buying this item you should probably look to see how feasible it is for you to get to the knock sensor on your car and replace it (some of these suckers are BURIED deep in the engine). Definitely have that planned out before buying the sensor. There's an Amazon review of this exact item by Joe Bimmer who did install it on his Xterra and he might be the guy to ask.

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.

The company recommends a 2.0cubed ft, also recommended to be tuned for 36hz. For the Amp it really depends. I went with the companys Amp the PA BAMF-4000 watt series (which doesn't actually putout that high of a number). But it still puts out a high watt. Literally, this system eats at power so quick, at first time I installed it I killed my alternator and battery less than 10mins and the car was running. This system has serious power if your car can provide it. I'm running at a safe 1600watts for my cars sake.

I think so as log as u match the amps but to be sure I called the company that was on the manual then I found it on amazon !!! It's way cheaper and work like a charm !!! Litterly 10 min to install

I bought this for my 2008 Altima and did not have the right connection either. The manual states: "Applications: 2003-2006 350z 2005-2006 Armada 2003-2006 Frontier 2003-2006 Murano 2003-2006 Pathfinder 2004-2006 Quest 2004-2006 Titan 2003-2006 Xterra" I am no expert so maybe the seller can provide some info. Otherwise I am returning mine.

No. It will not. I have the same year/make/model Xterra and I've tried numberous times to get it to work, but it does Not. Unfortunately.

I agree with too real and it will also depend on your alternator.I went ahead and spent the xtra $ and installed a 200 amp alternator,but there's only one sure way for you to find out!

You need to look and see if you have 3 wires going to the back of your current alternator. If you do, you should buy the 3 wire model.
