[QUOTE="Bumpin' Goalie, post: 6681211, member: 616941"] Hi, i'm back lol. So if i gather correctly, the main battery is only there for starting purposes. If this is true, why do ppl recommend a larger battery to help with voltage w/ the car on? Also, another question, (please correct me if i'm wrong) a battery in the back, run in-line, will be charged by the alternator, obviously. And the amps will draw power from it until it is depleted; which should only happen if the alternator cannot keep it charging as fast as the amps drain it; correct? (metaphors seem to help me explain my questions) In this sense, the alternator creates water to fill the batteries (lakes) which are being drained via wires (rivers) for power to the amps which draw current. If there is a shortage of water, the lakes will dry up and the thus the amps have no more water to receive. This makes me think that the batteries are a stepping stone in between amp draw and the alternator. This is what i seem to hear from most everyone. Because will not an amp wired from the battery, use it as a source of power b4 drawing straight from the alternator? It has been my common belief that the alt's job is to make sure the battery sustains enough charge to power the electronics being used. ...Now; please educate me if you don't mind [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
