[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7155864, member: 624844"] The 30A system was a generator, the 50A system was an alternator. The stock headlights are a joke. If you upgrade to H1 55w or 60w bulbs, it doesn't increase the strain at all and its as bright as a modern car. Your statement about a car's battery draining within a few weeks or a few months earlier is incorrect. On a MODERN car with clocks, ECU memory and other devices that drain power from the system - yes. On a pre-electronics car (pre-1984), the battery can last at least a year or 2 if stored indoors. Corrosion and oxidation is what kills batteries that are stored.... They don't lose current just because they haven't been drained in a few weeks/months. As long as the battery hasn't corroded, it still has the same potential energy, as long as the water hasn't evaporated which is a non-issue in an AGM battery. [/QUOTE]
