[QUOTE="Godzilla311, post: 8411083, member: 660846"] It wouldn't take half the time to charge the battery; unless you're thinking the drain will be the same on both batteries therefore the original battery will be handling half the load and therefore only needing half its original charge. So--If that is your logic then yes, it will take half the time to charge the one battery... but--the second battery would incur the same drain and thus require the same time to charge and... well you see where that goes.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif[/IMG] End result: The output of the alternator will be the same whether he has 1 or 2 batteries. The load, however, will increase and be more of a strain to the alternator. If his issue was voltage dips or something of that nature, then yes a second battery would help. [/QUOTE]
