[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8683964, member: 615398"] Why has no one mentioned lithiums or Northstar SMS slimline agms if the alt is limited to 90a? You can run a big battery bank with a small alt BUT you will have to trickle charge intermittently because the alt won't be able to fully charge the batteries. The larger the amp draw and the longer you play at full tilt the more frequently you will need to charge the batteries. And keep in mind that an alt doesn't make it's full power until it's spinning at least 2k rpm. So if you don't drive the vehicle for long trips or sit in traffic a lot then the alt isn't charging very much. [/QUOTE]
