[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 7470285, member: 567719"] Batteries do not fix voltage drop because they do not sit at 14V so they are of no help until the system voltage drops to their resting voltage. The system voltage dropping from 14V to 12V isn't a big deal to the components (they can handle either) but if you don't have the battery bank to hold it at 12V (or approx resting voltage) it will drop lower which is where low voltage damage comes in. Further more even if you have the bank there to hold the voltage, you're still neglecting the alternator which clearly cannot handle the load and will prematurely fail. [/QUOTE]
