Will it have to be charged anymore? I have a super stocker with no alternator. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated thanks jason

Higher voltage means less amps needed for the same work.

Multiply Volts x Amps to get Watts for a comparison of output for the 12 volt vs 16 volt battery.

I had 12v on my big block and would break teeth on the flexplate. switched to 16v. spins over like a stock engine would
