Subject:Can you run two alternators at once?
From:David Marshall
Date:Mon, 28 Sep 1998 20:17:15 -0700

My 90A alternator packed it in - dead windings.  A new one is a little more
than what I want to pay for right now.  Currently I am running a Motorola
65A in it's place.  I have another matching 65A alternator on my work
bench.  It is possible to run two at the same time for an effective 130A?
If they will interfere with each other would one be able to use an RV solid
state battery isolator between them?

Need more power!
