re alternators
1) the old system works great if properly set up.
2) the CPA system with the 400 regulators and a 337 work fine as well. Takes the hassle out of "tweeking" the existing system.
3) With a loaded king stack I draw 37 amps normal load which includes the pitot heat and all radios.
4) recommend a current shunt and meter so you know what the system is doing, otherwise you are just guessing! EI makes the best one for the buck.
5) If you have bad connections, contactors etc. you still will need to spend time bringing the system up to spec. after you spend 500 to 600 dollars on the 400 series regulators.
6) make sure the shear-drive or coupling is not slipping on either alternator. These were never designed to handle more than the stock alternators.....
Suggest you fix the problem before investing in a gold plated bandaid (mind you it does work as Mark says).
