true but some ppl rather have the weight in there car and still have some weight in there wallet as well. 2 big batteries equals about 1 ho alt

True but my car is also my daily. Commute to work, picking up my kids, or hell simply to shop that adds less gas mileage. Also my HO was under 250, but then again I drive a chevy

i also had the idea of picking up a stock alt somewhere like a junk yard and having my friend mount it just for my battery bank.
