[QUOTE="haloweenhamster, post: 6262445, member: 613630"] the batts will put more load on an alt while they charge but once there charged its just trickle current into the batts but the batts shouldent get as low if u use 2 (for same usage) just think of a flat batt 11Vish that pulls alot of current but if u have 2 it shouldent get as low(for the same usage) lets say 12V each battery pulls a lot less than if they where 11V but both add up to roughly the same ish current so yes there is a little more work but as long as they dont run flat they aid the system more then cripple it just think on a long journey in the day on a hot day ur alt is spinnin away outputtin little current so all that potential energy is wasted the alt is still capable of generating high current even if there is nothing using it i have a 150A alt with 2 batts and 20 caps with 2 shunts inline with the alt and amp so i can monitor the current used by my system and workout rough wattages and my alt doesnt normaly go above 100A so that another 50A posible avalible from my alt [/QUOTE]
