Time for a beefier alt, or do I need another battery?

[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8705315, member: 540940"] It's not what I'm basing my argument on, but it is certainly 100% accurate. It provides the fundamentals, or basics as I originally stated. I didn't really disagree with your dissertation other than your original statement that the alt isn't powering the system. It is absolutely the primary source, this is known because it operates at the highest voltage. The battery is ONLY the source for momentary high current demand and at times when the alts peak output is exceeded. If those two things create a situation that makes the battery the source with much regularity, that alt won't last long. [/QUOTE]
