[QUOTE="tommyk90, post: 4670568, member: 545293"] Err? Everything runs off the alternator when the car is running. The batteries main purpose is to start the vehicle and to help with any high draw demands. The alternator supplies all the current that the car is demanding. Nothing runs directly off the alternator. The power wire from the alt goes to the fuseblock where it is then distributed out to the rest of the car. Remember when the mythbusters did that test with the bullet for a fuse for the HEADLIGHTS? They replaced the headlight fuse with a bullet. How could they do that if the headlights run directly off the alternator? [/QUOTE]
