This question is about a GM 4 wire alternator. I'm trying to use a 300amp alternator to charge a battery bank. There isn't a starter or anything else in the circuit I just want to charge a battery bank with it. I'm spinning the alternator at 10,000rpm's. My question is do I need a voltage regulator and if so what do I do with the 4 wires?

Any and all help is appreciated
