Adding a Battery, What improves?

[WOT]

Thinking I might need a battery and a bigger big 3 and thats all when I go with about 2300rms watt off my factory 110amp alt. Was thinking an additional battery (underhood) so size matters, would make a difference?

Im at abot 1300rms right now and I get zero light dimming, 0 gauge run for the power aswell

Adding a second budget battery like a yellow top, whats that gonna do for me?

you might try upgrading the big 3 factory cables first. By big 3 i mean alt to bat +, engine to ground, and batt to ground.

here's a good link

what should i learn to read? instead of spending big dollars on a second battery and all that is needed to install the second battery, why not upgrade the wiring first? And he mentions nothing about big 3 in his post.

he already has the Big 3.

When you upgrade to almost double your power now, you not gonna have that "no dimming" feeling anymore. You should put in another battery to keep the "no dimming" greatness. You still might pull down below 13-13.5volts, therefore you will notice dimming (if you charge normally at 14+ volts).

just for information, i am pulling over 3000 watts out of my f150 with the standard alternator with a 5 farad cap and have zero dimming issues.
