[QUOTE="lostforawhile, post: 4423686, member: 591025"] ok another one, tell this to the people who tell you this crap, the alternator and the battery are connected together on the same circuit, the battery can produce way more current then any high output alternator ever can, so why aren't the electronics fried?
