[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 2275232, member: 541383"] a good deep cycle battery can cover a lot heavier load momentarily than an alt can also no alt guy wants to admit at around idle-low rpm that a high output alt really isn't much better than factory.your extra voltage allows things to work more efficiently(as long as you are at an rpm to take advantage of it) but it still doesn't provide you with a low voltage cushion the battery would provide which if you ask an amp company what the number 1 reason why amps fail is due to power falling off when the system is being used heavily (most cases when you are really thrashing on your stereo i bet it isnt when you are going 35+ mph anyway). sure you can get an alt to put out monster power at low rpm/idle but it will cost in more ways than one. EVEN if you get a ho alt you would be DUMB IMHO to not take advantage of what an extra battery can offer with the alt as it would give you the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
