A stock alternator and battery will be fine. Remember, you will not be transmitting on more than one radio at a time. Your biggest load will be the 100 watt low band x9000, about 30 amps on transmit.

If you do replace the battery, due to age, we use the yellow top optima. Best battery for rugged service out there.
