A fully charged battery will pull between 5 and 10 amps. if you have 5 batts, thats between 25 and 50 amps of just charging current. I wouldnt get more batts than you need. It will leave more current from your alt to go to your amps. dom -------------------- LOUDEST CERTIFIED SCORE ON LINEAR X 172.0 2002 UsaCi Super Modified 0-1000 World Champion 173.6 2002 UsaCi Legal World Record Holder Expert 0-600 (B&K) 171.0 (171.4) 2003 Meca XX-Class Record Holder 172.0 (backed up with a 171.9)
