[QUOTE="Villeza1, post: 8120961, member: 608393"] The point wasnt that it was stock or not, the point was that it was more current than the alternator could handle per NASTY08IMPALA statement. Nic Watts demo's with his car on and he has a stock alt 10 batts and 4 everest 5k's (at the time).... He would just stop to let the batteries recharge for roughly 20-30 minutes (after his bass boxing run) then would start the demo's again. EDIT: The only reason he let it charge for that long was to get ready for his comp, plus he demo's for almost a whole minute per each person and would demo at least 5-6 ppl at a time. Thats full tilt for nearly 6 minutes on a stock alt from 4 5k's In this case, it is not dire to add a H/O alt. Adding 2 additional batteries (assuming they are efficently enough ro help power the system) is perfectly fine, it will just take slightly longer to recharge batteries. If this is just a daily setup (which I'm assuming it is) there is no need for a H/O alt. [/QUOTE]
