accessary battery... wat to do

[paps02]

IM CONFUSED with all the arguing....

also i finally completely flattend my battery on the weekend so im prob going to get the new battery this w/e. the indicators dont even blink.... i now get the feeling that my battery went flat as the alt wasn't providing enough power to the ICE while the motor was running meaning it drained the battery...

im just going to get a bigger alternator and a new (powerful) battery. optima are too expensive. im going to that battery discount shop on moss st instead

Good Move!
A good solution:
Get the bigger battery, def the bigger alt.
Have a smaller stock battery that ONLY starts the car. So when the car is switched to ACC (Not IGN or ON) then the 2 batteries are isolated from one another. When the car is running they are in parrallel so they both receive charge.
Sorted.

who's arguing, not me?

When you drain a lead acid battery it will never hold full charge again.
Might want to check with an auto electrician about your alternator.
As for draining your battery, you should never run a system with the power your running without the engine going in any case...

what type of battery to u have??

you need to get a good dry cell battery and a good capicitor.. look into soundstream or optima batteries.. they are good..

but if your going to be playin dvd's n listening to ur sytem on accessory.. not matter what battery and capacitor u have it will eventually go flat..

car stereos are not designed to be played on accessory for a long amount of time..

if ur car is for show use... you get a 12v power supple that will plug into the wall...
