do i just run wire from 2nd battery to alternator or what??

pos battery to pos alternator and so on??


will this 2nd load on my alt cause it to fry??

i just got a huge amp to power my 12's and my lights are cutting out and i still want to add 1 and maybe 2 more amps.

 

If you dont plan on playing your stereo with the car off, dont bother with the second battery. If your battery drains with the car on, you need a higher output alternator. if you choose to go with 2 batterys, youre going to need to get a dual battery isolator to do it properly. You can pick one up at almost any stereo shop. They run at least 100 bucks.

 

the battery doesnt drain.

the lights dim.

if i run 1 more amp on this battery its gunna be fucked.

i want to know how to run 2 batterys

mad ppl with big systems do it.

also if i need to where can i get a better alternator??

im gunna go get the biggest car battery they make for now so the 1 amp will be ok

 

Why dont for get like a 1.0 farad capacitor, or two off them.

 

The lights are going to dim regardless of how many batterys you have. This is due to the fact that the battery cannot supply the power fast enough when the bass hits hard and fast. If you want to keep your lights from dimming, install a 1 farad capacitor for every 1000 watts in your system. ex. 2000 watts= 2 farad capacitors, 5000 watts= 5 farad capacitors. this is the only way to prevent this. Keep in mind that capacitors have a current draw themselves, adding to the strain on your ALTERNATOR. IMO I would run 1 battery, the best I could find, i prefer optima, and a bigger alternator, and some capacitors. That should yeild optimum results. Usually when people add multiple batterys, they do so because they compete in sound quality competitions, and they compete with the car not running.

peace

 

i went ahead and upgraded from a 435 cranking amps to 800amps/ the battery is HUGE in my rex but o well

this along with a cap should have me coverd.

also where can i get this upgraded alternator??
