Reply With Quoteyou're still right though... doesn't matter if he's running no amp at all, if the alternator is working overtime to charge a battery that won't hold up, it could eventually fizzle out. I'd still get it checked as a precaution
nope - not at all...guess it was just the battery then!

Need to make something? Here are a few ideas.
Yeah I will still check the alternator out thanks yall.
At this point, I would have the alt tested to protect the new battery, not the stereo.
A weak alt will allow the battery to be in a constant state of discharge. This will allow sulfation and will drastically shorten the life of the battery. It could allow the battery to "pass on" in as little a few months to a year.
Also, a bigger battery demands more from the alternator to maintian it's charge. too "big" of a battery and the alt will not be able to keep up and leads to the aforementioned sulfation problems.
it really is a system and must be built as such.
If the battery was listed as a replacement battery for your car, you should be alright though.
Cheers
BJ
