[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8410967, member: 665412"] i explained it, not that im saying he was right, or wrong. adding a battery will make it harder on your alternator, period. it'll make it easier on everything else because you'll have less voltage drop but once those batteries need to be charged the alternator now has to run your amp/car AND charge the batteries. when im at idle and accelerating - no music on. and if i was just running full tilt I can tell my batteries are low, and I can also absolutely tell the engine is loaded down to charge them - conservation of energy. the two go hand in hand, there's really no argument here we think the same thing. we're just coming at it from different aspects, but it is very good to note that adding a battery will help with your vehicle off AND on. now what REALLY adds the most issues to your alternator? huge current draw and low rated bridge rectifiers.
