am i seeing and thinking correctly here? you can run these off a 18v alt.. and then run your car itself off the 12v tap? so you only need one alt, to charge the 16v post?

Yes.
Charge the 16v side and run amps. Use 12v post for the vehicle's electrical. We are running 7 in the Ram Van w/ a 16v 300a Ohio Gen.
The 12v side is pretty weak though

The 12v side just runs low...like under 13v.
But yes, I have 1/0 from the ground, 12v and 16v posts on the front HC16v. Then 6 HC16v's in the back w/ 1/4"x1" aluminum bus-bars across all posts.
sanman I own this joint!

cirrect alan you can run the alt to charge the 18v side then it also brings up the 12v side at the same time
