I have a powermaster alternator with the adjustable regulator built in. Adjustable from the backside of it. Hook up 2 of the step down converters to the vehicles electronics. Main starter wire goes to the 16 volt bank or to a 12 volt battery if you decide to keep it in.

Nice people, can anyone give a link of these external regulators?

About the batteries a very good one seems to be Stinger 2150.

Neither the Cactus CS9000 or the Stiger 2150 are 16v batteries...

We tested 5x haze 18Ah in parallel and not were better than a 2150.

I do not know what batteries are inside a Cactus, anyone knows?
