[QUOTE="Another Device, post: 2780109, member: 548839"] I've been having problems with batteries ever since I had my new alt installed last year. I thought it was just that I didn't do all of the big 3, as I just had a 4ga wire going from my alt to the battery. I removed it and disconnected the ED amp after I had a new batt installed in December, so I just had the Crossfire amp running, no big 3. Today it died on me, so I had to jump it and drive it home. The batt has enough juice to turn on lights and my stereo, but it won't turn over. Will the big 3 do anything? My alt works fine as far as I know, my lights brighten and the wipers run faster when I rev the engine, so I think that tells me its putting out ~14 volts, but I could be wrong. My alt doesn't charge at idle, though, I think this is the biggest problem with my system. I really don't feel like putting in the stock alt back in, so any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
