Bronze Member Username: Lincoln_ls_guyPost Number: 15 Registered: Dec-05 | easiest way to install 2nd batt is to just put it inline between first batt and amp. If ur drawin that much power then u might wanna drive around a bit without it cranked to help recharge both batts. A prob u might run into tho, is if u disconnect a batt from the system, ur car might not start. I'd check all ur grounds first though. A bad ground can cause light flickage. |

I'VE CHECKED ALL GROUNDS THERE FINE. THE ALT IS 105 AMP, AND YOU CAN'T INLINE THE BATTERIES WITH OUT CREATING A LOAD ON THE ALT. AND EVEN THOUGH MY ALTERNATOR HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY I DON'T FEEL LIKE REPLACING IT ONCE A WEEK. |
