[QUOTE="chris229, post: 57010, member: 542614"] yup--- it is always charging the batteries when the car is runing I never stated that the alt is charging the batteries and has enough current to run the system too----if it does all the better----you know what a battery is for ---to start the car an to help with load exceeding the alt lights dimming doesn't really mean that the alt has given up----rather there is just a voltage drop k---so in your case your saying the current has exceeded the alt ability and now the battery must help......well are you over looking the fact that the voltage has just dropped from 14.4 to 12.8~12.6 which is a 1.6~1.8v drop and this is before the batteries can even help--------that =dimming lights---now you see what i'm saying yea it isn't going to take more current than the alt will give it ---------but it taking current-----taking more of the alts[current] head room.yup ----by adding batteries you can reach a point where you need a bigger alt cause you need to charge more batteries----catch22 [/QUOTE]
