[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6681126, member: 619324"] Then just trust me. Current only flows from the highest source of potential. This is why your alternator puts out a voltage of ~14 to your 12v battery. It's so current will flow FROM the alternator TO the battery keeping it charged. The battery is ONLY in the vehicle to start the car. That's IT. It will also prevent the voltage from going below 12v on heavy bass notes where the alternator cannot keep up, but the voltage has to get down to its resting voltage before it discharges any significant amount of current.
