JasonJones Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'd like to know more about this "1990's station wagon" to be completely honest. Drawing close to 500a of current off a stock alt for any period of time while maintaining over 13 on 4 unknown make batteries? More information would be appreciated to understand the whole situation. OP just remember, it is all in the math. It is not opinion, it is fact. And the fact is if you wish to supply your amps with what they need current wise to output their maximum potential than you need supplied current, regardless of where it comes from. And the fact is 500a of current is a considerable amount to be maintained primarily by batteries over any period of time. Furthermore people have stated fact that if you are to run a stock alternator with multiple batteries that will pick up the slack of having low alternator output charging then the result will be alternator and or battery failure. You cannot expect an 80a alternator to charge 4 batteries that have significant draw. The alternator will constantly be charging and the batteries will constantly not be topped off over an extended period. The primary use of batteries should not be to supply your system over an extended period, but instead should just be used to filter the dips when your system pulls a significant draw. I believe you're thinking of this as "which one is better", which the answer is both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritch40 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 this goes out to the OP. Here is a simple question for you. If this shop is right, and all of us here have been wrong this whole time about everything, WTF do you keep coming back here??? Seriously, you never actually listen to a damn thing 1 of us told you with your how ever many posts about your amps issues. My advise to you is simple, decide for yourself who is right. In the event its them, remove yourself from this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Lightning Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 If its a shop demo vehicle and never leaves the shop ... Chances are that the alternator is never really needed. Charged often or perm. Connected to an Astron or something similar. Heck, some of the demo vehicles I've seen I the past ran floating grounds with no alternators connected. So it is possible guys. But for a daily driver setup ... An upgraded alternator is needed. And I often suggest one battery for one amplifier in the system plus stock under the hood.
