The more batteries you put in, the more reserve you have at ~12.6v but it doesn't help you at 14+v. It actually hurts you since batteries will never charge up to the system voltage. This means that they are ALWAYS be drawing current from your alternator while the voltage is above 14v. They can't be discharging at this time because current is only drawn from the highest source of potential in a parallel circuit. So this all means that the more batteries you add, the more load you put on your system. If he wants to kill his alt he'll add a bunch of batts.</p></blockquote><p></p>
