reinke Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 taken from Car Electronic Basics Many people are under the impression that adding a second battery will cure their electrical problems. If one battery is good then two must be better. Right? Wrong. Remember that the function of a battery is to start the vehicle and to provide power when the vehicle is not running. The only thing a second battery will help you with is "parking lot" listening time. Basically it will provide you the additional capacity to run your stereo longer without starting the vehicle. After the vehicle is started the second battery becomes another load on an already overworked alternator. a guy over on the grandprix forums says that extra batteries do nothing. he says that any real stereo person will tell you the only way to help you electrical is to add a capacitor or a in his words a "1,000" amp alt. he told me that for my system which is at the very most 2,500 watts that i would need a 100 farad cap and that magical alt.
