adding an extral battery helps?

[95AccordLX]

I know this has been discussed a million times... I cant find the thread and Im not being lazy...

So will an extra battery help? Im using my stock alternator which I believe its a 90watt and I cant afford to buy a HO, I currently have a 5000 watts amp, will an extra battery a 2nd solution to it?

Thanks...

well I guess most of the people who posted assumes I got a cheap *** amp... I feel sorry for ya'll coz you've been judging other people even thou u havent met them personally and make fun of them regarding what system they have... well I guess this time kickin it right back and feeling ashamed is one way to describe who just posted in here saying I got a boss/ cheap amp.

No need to get your feelings hurt and that's not a true 5000 watt amp either. Do the Big 3 and add another battery and go from there.

You will never power a 5kw amp from a 90 watt alternator. 5kw / 14.4 v = 348 amps. 348 amps is a little more than 90 amps.

Yet another fail thread of some retard trying to power a jiggawatt amp from a lawn mower sized electrical system.

it's a 2500w amp.

If you try to blast it that alt will die.

Depending on your listening habits my guess is it will last anywhere from a week to a year.

I could see adding a battery helping the situation on the surface, but electrically, the alt will still be pushed to and beyond its limits the same amt of time and its life expectancy would not change much.

Correction: That is a 100% efficiency system. And you are assuming that the only thing the amp can draw power from is the alt. Why do you think adding an extra battery helps his voltage drops?

I run an amp that has put out a full 1500 watts. Stock alt is 95 amp. Being that It delivered a full 1500 watts It had to draw > 104.16 amps. Thats a little more than 95 especially when coupled with the 20 some amps the car uses when on. and The other mid amp and HU. Does everything die? no Because the battery supplies the extra current needed for a limited time.

This works because an amp that reaches that kind of output won't be reaching it all the time. Giving the battery time to recharge. It depends on the "amp hours" the battery can supply and how easily the battery can be re-charged (whether its old or not.)

A 100 amp hour battery can deliver 100 amps for an hour, 200 amps for 30 minutes, 400 amps for 15 minutes. and so on. Of course, the higher the discharge the lower the efficiency.

Also current flows downhill. once the alt provides less current than the battery, the battery will provide the current instead of the Alt. Meaning you'll have a hard time using ALL your alt's power
