[QUOTE="UsAmpsFreak, post: 8180562, member: 658137"] Honesty bro in my experience batts are really only my suggestion if the voltage drop is fairly minimal. If you have a real volgate problem i would double check the quality of the big 3 install, mainly check to make sure your ground can not be any better at a different location and that where your ground is has been cleaned of all paint ect ect. Past that i would bypass the battery for now, save up your money you would have spent on that and look at upgrading your alternator. If you have a real voltage problem a battery will not fix it. Only more current will fix your problem, aka an alternator. If you're on a tight budget i would take your car to a starter and alternator shop in your town and see how much more they could upgrade it to instead of buying a brand new one. It'll be about 1/3 to 1/2 the price of a H/O alt. Also, if you already know you're upgrading to 2.5k in the future you will need an upgraded alternator and maybe even an aux alt anyways. Good luck, if you need any more advice on this feel free to pm me. [/QUOTE]
