bigbodylexus Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 The alternator is what powers your car and the accessories. It will provide a SMALL amount of charge for a battery, but it's not a dedicated battery charger.

It will provide a SMALL amount of charge for a battery, but it's not a dedicated battery charger. Even with a small alternator, it only takes about half the potential charging power to run the car. As for how much goes to the battery, the battery only takes as much as it needs. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

Bship Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 is this a true 7000w or a half assed 7000w.... haha! just what I was thinking as I read this, i've got an amp sitting in front of me that says 4,000 WATTS like it's something special, and I'd be surprised if it puts out 400.
