You've said the point exactly:

Unless of course you have an alternator that can handle all that

If you experience electrical problems after you put your stereo in and you attempt to resolve it with a bigger battery or a cap, chances are you are merely treating the symptom and not the actual problem. If your charging system isn't up to the task in the first place, adding a larger battery or cap will only add strain on your already overtaxed charging system.



Sing with me. C'mon, everyone all together.



Alternators are used in automobiles to charge the battery and to power all the car's electric systems when its engine is running. [Wikipedia]



the vehicle's engine-driven alternator powers the vehicle's electrical systems and restores charge used from the battery during engine cranking. [Wikipedia]



A car's battery is designed to provide a very large amount of current for a short period of time. [HowStuffWorks]



The addition of a secondary battery will increase the amount of time you can listen to the audio system with the engine not running. When the engine is running, the secondary battery is an additional load to the alternator. [Rockford Fosgate]



Remember that the function of a battery is to start the vehicle and to provide power when the vehicle is not running...After the vehilce is started the second battery becomes another load on an already overworked alternator...[Car Audio Help]
