[QUOTE="M@nJo, post: 797573, member: 559973"] dont even get an alternator just yet, theres a big-3 upgrade which helps reduce dimming, voltage drops AND strain on your electrical system. if the battery in the car now is fine, use it. im not sure if you can check if its still running strong or have over 50% life left, but i think autozone or a local auto department can test it? a battery isnt much helpful when it comes to your electrical system... unless you play the music with the car off. since you dont have major plans for a hardcore system, a upgraded battery isnt really neccesary unless your current one is dying on you. you should be more worried about your alternator since its gonna be struggling depending on what kind of system your running. then again, i highly recommend DIY the big-3 upgrade before purchasing any kind of capacitor, alternator, or battery.
