well most cars generally run @ 13.8 volts, some however charge constantly @ 14.1volts(mitsu's do) To achieve 14.4 I am not 100% how,

well here is the reason why need more power, i just got GT0 120.1 II X 2,
i still have my org bat and alt. each amp draws about 120 amps at full load , so now im up to 240amps. that leaves 60amps give or take to run the rest of the car. shhttt. i sould have thought this out before i bought them i guess.
I orderd my new alt today and its commin in like 4-6 weeks, its a 300amp. Could i run extra batt of this ?

well..... if you want 14.4V without the car running. the Accuvolt might be just what you need..Accuvolt info Otherwise..... its up to the alternator with the car running or a combination of batt... 6V+8V. but you have to figure a way to charge them correctly.
