We suggest limiting the use of 16 Volt batteries to race vehicles. The added voltage has several advantages for racers including a hotter spark at the plugs as well as a boost in the operation of the starter, fuel pump, and water pump. It does have its drawbacks if you were to install this into a standard car. The on-board computer system all new cars come with may not be able to handle the voltage increase along with gauges and even light bulbs.
In terms of the alternator, many racers opt to not use an alternator - using a standard 12V alternator on this battery will not charge it and can even damage the battery over time. This battery is able to be deep cycled and charged after the racer's passes are done. You would need to get a 16V charger for this battery in order to properly maintain it. We recommend the CTEK MURS 7.0
