alternator questions

[884x4310ci]

Hey guys. My 88 truck was power windows and locks had electric fuel pump ecu and all that. So it has the k60 105 amp cs130. I have now installed a electric fan 6 50 watt lights. Power inverter and viair compressor. Now did install a second battery. Will the stock cs130 charge this or will I have to change to a 140 amp cs144 ?

Thanks

The batteries are to start the vehicle, not run the accessories. The alternator charges a good battery (100 % state of charge / health) while driving at less than .030 amps. See "Load-Shedding / Up-intergraded Charging Control, 2004 & up". The balance of current runs the vehicles electrical items. Use a quality amp clamp, turns on all of the electrical toys, take a reading. Choose wisely grass-hopper.

Did anybody here upgrade to the iceberg case available for the cs130 ? Is it worth it ?
