2 car battteries?

[-cardo-]

i'm having trouble finding a high output alternator. i am worried because my electrical might not take it. the manual on my car says 75 amps on the alt. i read somewhere that if the alternator can't supply the power, it takes it form the battery. so in any case that i can't find a good alt will a 2nd battery do the job? does it make sense to add a 2nd battery? if it will does anyone know how to do it and what do you need to make it happen? thanks

edit: pwede bang iparewind ang alternator to a higher output?

Di pwede ipa-rewind para palakasin ang alternator. Nagtanong na din ako before sa mga shops eh. Why don't you look replace your alternator instead? Check Evangelista or Banawe baka makahanap ka ng mas malakas na replacement.
I replaced mine with a 90amp. I think my stock is 60-70. I don't know how much help it is though coz tinanggal ko sounds ko to replace it with a new set. Surplus lang binili ko, but I've had no problems with it so far. Bought it for 2k yata.

thanks nic! plano ko rin maghanap sa evangelista. pero question ser, pano mo malalaman na certified 90 amps yun alt? baka kase japeyks yun bigay sa kin o di kaya hindi calibrated yun timbang nila, if you know what i mean. hehehehe nagtanong kase ako sa pyeza dito sa cavite, hanggang 65amps lang yun mga bago nila.

May mga sticker naman na naka-indicate kung ilang amps yun eh. Sakin di ko na pina-test dahil kilala ko yung shop.  Pero kung gusto mo manigurado, may mga nakita ako dun na pang test ng alternator na may meter pero di ko alam kung para sa amps yon .

anong shop yun kinuhanan nyo ser? baka pwede po pa recommend naman. thanks

 Ilan ba amps ng sound system mo ?

 Yes!  marami surplus na alternator sa banawe and evangelista.

 Di advisable 2 batteries.... kung mahina ung alternator madali din lang ma drain ung additional battery na inilagay mo, di nya kaya i reload ung dalawa.  The best is malakas na alternator tapos dalawa battery mo.

Pangalan nung shop is Ramosos. Wala ako phone number nila e. Sabihin ko sayo pag mahanap ko. Basta from EDSA, right ka sa Evangelista. Cross ka ng bridge then sa 2nd or 3rd street makikita mo na sign nila sa kanan. Liko ka don, malapit lang sila sa corner. Look for Robert Ramoso.

OK shop na 'to kasi reconditioned lahat ng surplus nya. Nagtingin din kasi ako sa ibang shops and marami don sira yung mga bearing o maingay na.

hehehe, so schuey you also hang out there? i try to get as much input as possible. sabi nga, 3 sides to every story

Your problem will be worse with an extra battery. The battery actually presents extra load to your charging system. So your amps will actually be getting less power. They suck up power even if they are fully charged.

In fact, using a smaller battery that is enough to start the car is a smarter choice. Kaya nga maliliit ang batt ng new car. It pressents less load. Car manufacturers know this. Kaso mga tayo may bigger is better attitude. Mali.

The extra battery will only work if you listen with engine off. No sounds while angine runs and charges batteries. Then use battery when engine is off. But continuously draining your batts will destroy them. This is a classic case of lose-lose situation.

Thats why meron deep cycle bat eh

cardovr6 lolz matagal na akong member ca ECA diyan ako maraming na tutunan and palagi rin kaming may EB i think next month may EB kami sa TRU factory sa LA area

Don't worry to much kaya yan ng alt mo ok

yeah, i could emphathize with you. marami nga silang tips and tricks not to mention good technical thingie's there. may nag bigay na nga ng procs at wiring kung pano gawin. pero i'm stupid doing it the first time kay wait out ko muna after the installation of my stuff... then see. atleast i know what to do. well, there's not harm in asking.  

i've been to LA once - disneyland(anaheim), universal, hollywood, rodeo drive and downtown LA. pero business trip not on vacation or anything. big freeways and always traffic. uso rin pala jan ang gitgitan hehehehe. kala ko manila traffic lang uso. well, send me pics sa eb nyo. matitindi yun mga setup nila.

hey nic,

thanks. will check it out.   titignan ko rin yun advice ng mitsu na 100amp alt ng 2002 galant.

  Another that is worth considering is Installing a digital voltage monitor......I bought mine in Japan, baka meron na dito.  You can see the actual voltage charging of your battery while listening and driving, especially at night.

san mo install yon sa side ba ng battery yon.

   Jake,

  It should be installed inside, it must  be visible to the driver. It will come with a plug for the lighter accessory but I have mine directly connected. I use the lighter outlet for charging cellphone.

 This will also tell you if your alternator is not charging properly or your battery not responding to your alternator meaning gradually deteriorating.

 Some Jap. SUV and truck and american SUV has them on the cockpit already. But for normal jap. cars locally has none.
