osamio Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I was set on thinking i'd just need another battery, and the AMI Customs called me a noob because i was worried about draining the battery without a high output alt: Lemme get this straight, if i have a stock alt, but a high capacity deep cycle battery, The battery will handle the amount of current my sound system draws that the alternator can't handle right? Which brings me to this: What happens when i drive say, 20 minutes, bumping the whole time? If the sound system is over-drawing the alternator, then the battery will not be charging, and when i shut the car off the battery will be too low to start the car? And substitute any amount of time, i mean, let's say i drive an hour, then i could potentially kill the battery completely, and have to shut the system off to allow the alt to charge the battery before i shut the car off?? This is why people run battery banks. And yes you can do exactly what you are saying happens to a lot of people who have no idea what they are doing, we call those people....noobs....LOL But apparently if it's not full blast 1700 watts the whole time, i should be fine, so i'm not really sure why he has such an issue...

osamio Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 One more thing, is it a bad idea to add an AGM batt to my stock batt? it'd be really easy, they're both in the trunk, I was thinking i might as well just leave them both in, or would that be bad if only one is deep cycle?
