When you buy a battery is it not already charged? Hmmmm.

omg the battery does not stay charged forever. why do you think cars are made with alternators?

that is not a big amp. i don't know if you are trying to be a smartass or a dumbass with this comment. a stock electrical system should be able to support that amp.

chill chill i wasnt tryin to be a smart i was just guessin

that amp is not a huge amp and i just can't see how it's lowering your voltage so bad. to sum it do a big 3 first and see what that does for ya.

didn't you read the part where he says he is getting sever dimming and voltage drops?

**edit** he didn't mention anything about dimming afterall. why the hell am i still posting?

lol yeah. I get variying idle rates and a decrease in RPM's whenever I turn on my AC. thats perfectly normal in lower quality and older cars

ok ***........Once the battery is fully charged to 12.6 volts, it requires less power from the alternator. This system of discharging and charging is called a cycle. If a battery is drained until it is nearly dead, the charging process completes what is called a deep cycle. Most automotive batteries are not capable of deep cycling and typically cannot handle this type of use more than once or twice. Having 2 batterys will keep it in a charge cycle cuz they wont get low as easily, and it wont have to go through deep cycles. Make sense, dumbo?

go out and buy the cap with the biggest, baddest voltage display.......its the best!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

my friend has a massive system.

he installed 4 caps just for the volt meters.. doesnt even have them wired up to the battery and amps.. i was like wtf is the point?

him - "i get extra points at shows for having flashy caps"

me - "so why not wire them up and use them?"

him - "what are u fukin stupid?"

Why not fix the draining problem, instead of putting on a band aid(extra battery) dumbo
