[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6773034, member: 619324"] Do the big 3. Replace your SLA battery up front with an AGM battery. Go to your local battery place and ask for a deka intimidator that will fit. You can get a second battery (preferably group31) battery of the same make for the rear. The only reason people say to replace the batteries is because it can reduce ESR going from a SLA to AGM. There really aren't any other advantages to it. Also, learn how to reduce the amount of current your stock electronics draw from your electrical. Dim your gauges, turn off all lights you don't need, make sure there is no added stress on your pulleys from AC etc. This will all help when trying to run on stock electrical. [/QUOTE]
