[QUOTE="williambrea, post: 5290081, member: 599588"] it is harder on your alternator but better for you amp! Think of batteries as padding your electrical system, the more current you have in reserve so its easier on you amp because their is a steady supply of current from the battery(s). The problem with having many batteries and a little alternator is that sometimes if you pound to hard all day you will eventually drain your batteries to the point where your alt cannot recharge them fast enough to meet your current needs. This is why some people have many batts and a batt charger that they use overnight. This is a solution to cars that usually cannot have an upgraded alt. The real thing that will help you is the alt, you can have all the batteries you want but its the alt that makes the power and charges the batteries. [/QUOTE]
