Get a kinetic or stinger battery. Autozone battery is trash. You really need to do the big three. What car is it? I just did it on mine after i thought it would be too hard.

well if you do the math..

85A alternator X lets go high and say 14.4 Volts = 1224 watts, and thats at 100% efficiency on a high voltage, your probably more likely going to get 11.8-12.8V.

so 85A X 13.5 = 1105, not really sure how your pushing a 1606. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
