14.5 is normal for an alternator. You can put much more voltage?24 volts is fine, though you?ll blow lots of other stuff. Just make sure you use a ballast resistor and keep an eye on your points. Con

No. At least not perceptibly. A. The flywheel mass is tiny compared to the moment of inertia of the spinning car. If that mass were spinning much faster than 6000 RPM you might have a useful gyroscop

Mordy, I forgot to answer your question. Yes you can, but you should generally do it through a BMS (battery management system) that will balance the cells and prevent overcharging and over discharge.
