[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 5718889, member: 587873"] You can power a decent system with a single good battery, HO Alt, and the Big 3 done with 0/1 Ga wire, you don't need 3 batteries and you don't need to waste money on an isolater, unless you plan on adding more than one battery and plan on bumping with the car off. An upgraded alt, along with a decent AGM battery under the hood is a good start. You didn't say what battery you bought, was it a real battery for car audio or something like an Interstate or Diehard? I'm not to lazy to write it, the Big 3 is consists of upgrading your three major power/ground wires. Using 0/1 Ga, upgrade the following: Battery (-) to the Chassis Battery (+) to the Alt (+) terminal Engine block to chassis for final ground upgrade [/QUOTE]
