[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2272685, member: 550915"] Except the wallet... If the alt is so grossly undersized that the extra capacity of a second battery is needed, then is isn't going to hurt but it won't nearly solve the problem either. If you just want something to stabilize the voltage, your are using the extra battery for its capacitance, not its capacity. If that is what you are looking for, an electrolytic capacitor (not a carbon or hybrid) is really going to be a cheaper, and much lighter solution. [/QUOTE]
