[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 778130, member: 15983"] I spoke with Premier Power Welder (I got my alternator from them). They basically told me that I need two battery banks, exactly as Crash said, but they do have a top charger that allows the alternator to charge both banks of batteries separately. I also checked with WARN. The 12k Winch can be 12v or 24v but it's a different motor. Not worth the money. Premier power welder does have a very unique feature when you use their system. You can flip a high charge switch which bumps it up to a 16v circuit and at about 2500 rpm it will fully charge a completely dead battery in 3-4minutes, but you have to be careful to turn the switch off otherwise you'll recharge the battery. It's very useful when winching as it won't burn up the electronics but will provide extra charging power. Crash did tell me that the inside of the positive electrode was melted. PPW told me that this can happen with the postive cable is not tight enough OR if you tighten the cable without holding the bottom nut. The electrode can turn on the inside and either touch up against the body of the alternator or arc to it under high load. I think this happened because every since my last winch fest, I'm not holding a charge and draining my dual optima blue tops if I leave it sit for a week or so with the battery switch on. I must have had a grounding issue at this burnt electrode. So for now, I'll leave everything as is and just try that hi charge switch on the welder unit under heavy winch conditions. [/QUOTE]
