For example, say we have the 200A load, it is known to exceed my 90A Alt so that should bring voltage down, add in the .8V loss at that length and we'll be very close to 12.0V. If we remove the loss from resistance, right there is .8V gained (back to 12.8V) adding double the reserve will add support to the 12.8V level giving us double the playing time before that voltage will drop.Basically this shows that unless your ALT can output the max amperage at any given time you will need batteries to maintain voltage. Once we add in the resistance factor they will add more benefit</blockquote>
