[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 7791213, member: 611804"] yada yada i have yet to ever replace an alt so you can say one thing and i can say another what you arent seeing is that his battery is still connected to the alt and the amp its just more out of the way and yes electricity takes the path of least resistance but consider this if you alt produces say 100amps and you car uses 60amp that leaves you with 40amps of extra current that you can use for what ever this is headroom left at the factory for upgrades like snowplows and warning lights and so on. now what you are saying is that while the car is on all the vehicles electrical draws power of the batt but really the batt with the vehicle on is above resting voltage so it cannot supply current until the voltage is below resting voltage. so what supplies the current? the alt!!! you are correct that the battery buffers voltage peaks but only a bit until you start dropping large amounts of voltage. and since his battery is still going to be inline with the amp and alt he shouldnt have any problems. its not like he is trying to run his system with no battery in the car. and yea you can be snyde but idc this is the internet and we are all entitled to our on opinion. im talking out of experience i cannot speak for you im guessing you are as well [/QUOTE]
