[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 8347774, member: 567719"] There is no arguing, it's basic electrical theory. Batteries will only supply current when the system voltage drops below their resting voltage so no matter what if he doesn't upgrade his alternator he will have voltage drop. They're like a safety net, great to have but not to rely on. Even in your system, every time your voltage dips and has to rely on the batteries you're putting a much larger strain on your alternator. This strain will cause it to fail prematurely. Ideally you would have as close to 0.0V drop as possible. If the OP ads more batteries on top of his already strained electrical system he's likely to fry his alternator and end up stranded somewhere... [/QUOTE]
