[QUOTE="mc71, post: 8383707, member: 664923"] You & I might be only ones thinking it lol. But following up, I did try my "battery + battery + capacitor" parallel idea last night & it actually fixed (bandaided) the problem! I drove around about 20-30 minutes & tried plenty of hard accelerations & wasn't able to make my amps cut out. So I guess there's a thumbs up for having several power sources in a row vs one big one. I'm still not loving having an alt that spikes (especially knowing the company's unsurprised it'd happen). But I'm starting to see I sorta bought an HO "light" alt (if the insides could've been doubled with a different model)....$349....so not the most expensive alt out there, but I would've paid more. I bought the only model Mechman offered for my car, so I just chose the wrong company.......jus sayin. I guess now I'm leaning towards buying 3 XS Power D975 batteries & that'll keep me bandaided. And happy having them. I'd still love any input or comments about anything I OP'ed. But I wanted to follow up.. [/QUOTE]
