[QUOTE="Godzilla311, post: 8411020, member: 660846"] This is False. Slow_Ride is true. Adding more batteries is just going to put more of a load on your alternator. This is the exact opposite thing you want to do in your situation. Just really stop to think about it for a second... where is the power that second battery is using coming from? Itself right? What recharges that battery? The alternator. These aren't Duracell batteries you use till their power is gone then replace them; they must be replenished. Batteries are used to start vehicles and provide juice for when the vehicle is turned off. If you are really killing alternators every few months you have some other issue going on: loose alternator belt tight alternator belt bad belts bad pulleys bad environment (heat, fluids, etc causing your alts to fail prematurely) crappy alternators (stop going to autozone) [/QUOTE]
