Battery and Alternator questions

Not true. If you were actually concerned with filtering the ripple the alternator put out, you would add a cap in parallel and not a battery. An alternator by itself will create a very stable electrical system if the devices are operated within its limits.

My digital out will tick like a time bomb and if I mute my system at full volume with a 500 wattish amp it will tick off when unmuted with no battery hooked up. Also I have yet seen an alternator that did not need a battery inline with it if for no other reasons than not destroying the diodes.

This only means you have not looked. They are not battery chargers. With a battery in-line more current is drawn through those diodes. We may agree on politics but my experience and degrees will not let me agree with you on this one guy.

And your impedance to understand or apply what is going on is rather amazing....and yes that is a play on words...
