Dual or Geared belt for Perkins 4-108

I wonder if I can convert my 4-108 to a dual belt or geared belt driven
alternator? The 100 amp Balmar seems to eat belts and I generally
reduce the load to start at 40-50 amps. Spreading out the belt load
seems a good alternative. Also anyone put two alternators on and how
did you do that?
Thanks,
Norm

why not use a poly vee (micro-vee) belt? the carrying capacity is
significantly greater than vee belts, and the resistance is less.
