[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8186520, member: 650438"] how much is a discount whats the price your getting? there's many batteries that outperforms yellowtops. In my opinion though, 60 amps is too small of an alternator it'll run the system but if you use the heater/Ac and blast some decaf, i think the voltage drop might be severe even while driving. In this case i think the battery would only be a temporary solution, even though your not running ridiculous amounts of power, 60 amps is cutting it kinda close and it'll wear out the alternator faster when strained like that. I'd recommend upgrading the alt to prevent future troubles. it doesnt have to be a fancy super high output, but just somthing around 100-140 should last for this current setup unless you want to go bigger in the future then by all means go for the 160 amp or higher alts Also, even if you did everything there's still a possibility that your headlights will still dim, you might want to try an HID kit for your lights if that happens.
