trickle charge it or do like most people and just install it and let the alty charge it

so i should do the big 3? why not a capasitor?

there have been lots of discussion about capacitors, search on it

do big 3, new batt, new alt if your car's current electrical system cannot support your equipment

For power stiffening purposes (dimming headlights) caps are useless because they actually "add" a load to the electrical system.

so what would help dimming lights? do a big 3?
