[QUOTE="JohnKuthe, post: 8533604, member: 670903"] Depends on what you car's alternator is rated/speced at. If it's rated at 60Amp output AND your voltages are dropping then yes you need a higher capacity/output alternator. The alternator has to run all the car's electrics after starting the car and if voltages are dropping below more than the 12V the battery is rated at, then as you drive your battery is draining and may not be able to start your car the next time you need it to.
