Re: Alternator spikes

One wire alternators can be lots of trouble
some guys swear by them most hate them

Cs 130 /144 Alternators are way better then the farm tractor style 1 wire alternator they where originally developed for

10 gauge is good for 30 amps also you have a long run adding voltage drop which raises amperage 8 AWG or 6 AWG is what you will need to run to the trunk

I suspect small wire long run lots of voltage drop which in turn makes the current go up higher
