How often you run your stereo at full tilt, and even the type of music you listen to, affect the demand your stereo will apply to your charging system. I am of the same mindset as many people here in that I like to build my charging system in order to be confident I dont have to concern myself about voltage drop if I flex the system's muscles for an extended time (engine-on). But the reality is, a person can get by with a smaller charging system, if his listening habits allow it. When someone asks me if they need to upgrade their alt and/or batt, and budget is a concern, I first look at the situation. If their charging system is even within the ballpark of acceptable, I usually suggest seeing what happens (but watch voltage gauge, and carry jumper cables). If its not even close, then I suggest looking into an alt/batt upgrade.</p></blockquote><p></p>
