Kirk,

you have voiced my concern. I do not run an alternator so reserve is very important.

Also, I am looking at weight removal so having to add an alternator will defeat the purpose.

The Super 10 is completely different from your situation. It has small amp draw when running [small fuel pump, water pump, MSD 6AL] is all I run down track. It also starts easily but when we consider several starts in the lanes and fan running on the return road it must have reasonable reserve capacity.

Just now it is equipped with a large [45 pound] Rock 16 volt that could go several rounds without charging if necessary. Plus, that 45 pounds is at the rear.

For the short term I will look other places for weight removal.
