Default linked alternators

hello all
is it possible to link 2 or more car alternators driven from the same engine
to a single battery
thankyou David


Yes, it works fine, no special hookup needed other than trying to get the
voltage regulator settings as closely matched as possible if you want both alts
to contribute their fair share of charging current. Many fishing boats use this
even without a perfect voltage match so that if one alt fails, the other is
online and you can keep fishing.
