[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 15678554, member: 138028"] I'm running the PC680 battery. I switched batteries for some weigh savings in the front of the car (did a Steeda rad support brace, planning to get tubular K-member). I'm not using the MJ (metal sleeve, wasn't necessary according to the place I purchased the battery from, and I don't need the extra heft from the sleeve to go over the battery). I still have stock HE no fans. When I'm driving the car my voltage is around 14-14.1V with lights on. I think even if you are using a HE with dual fans ALA you are not idling for extensive periods your alt. should be able to keep the battery charged. Once you are driving at speed (city or highway) with engine speed up around 2k or higher you should be fine. If anything maybe wire in a separate switch to turn the fans off/on if you are in heavy traffic and idling for a long time. Search my username I have a post about installing the battery, wasn't hard to do and worth the effort to lose some weight from the car. Tony [/QUOTE]
