[QUOTE="RAM_Designs, post: 4139195, member: 566575"] Well no kidding, everyone knows the alt is the [B]main[/B] source of power in the charging system. No one is debating that. This is not necessarily true, see my example below. Have you ever put a battery on a slow trickle charge? Chances are you haven't if you think the battery voltage never goes above 12.7V (I've put a dmm on my kinetik hc1800 after charging and sits at 13.81V). Sure, when it is NOT being charged by the alt (or in my case, a battery charger), it's going to drop to it's normal resting voltage (which mine does after a night of rest). The point I'm making is that the battery helps out before voltage drops to 12V, or even 12.7V. For this reason, the image is misleading... [/QUOTE]
