A battery, a second or two after starting to discharge is in the 12v range. They don't stay up around 13v very long at all. Not only will an alt keep the voltage up around 14v, but it doesn't weight as much, and doesn't take up cargo area. A good batt usually costs 150-200 dollars. x3 or 4 and you've got an alt that would have prevented the need for all of those batts. It won't kill your gas mileage and it won't take up cargo space. People who recommend batts vs caps a) don't know what they are talking about. b) are lazy. c) are afraid to change their alt. (it's really easy unless you drive a compact car)</p></blockquote><p></p>
