I have a 110amp 12v and a 70amp 24v alternator running off the same belt with no apparent issues but it hasn't been tested that much yet.

do you guys run a seperate ground for the second alt.?in theory this would cause some issues(especially with 1 24v n 1 12v alt. How do you go about it?

running the samw ground/negative will be fine, just dont mix the positives of 12v and 24v
