Hi guys I have a 97 Bonnie and i have a couple of things hooked up to it that i think is draining my battery. Every time i come to a stop everything dims out and my amp cuts out. I have A 9" dash tv,15" flip tv, dvd player, amp and audio modulator on the car. I just bought a new battery and its still the same problem. I was wondering do you guys have any suggestion. Do i need a high performance alternator?

from the sound of ur problem, its definately the alternator

Id say... get a better alternator and get a large cap or another battery to run all your components... thats alot of stuff....

i tryed to hook up another battery but i dont know how do you?. And if i did would the alternator charge both of them

just run a power wire like you would for a amp to the pos side of the second battery. then ground the second battery to the body. Run all your electronics off the second batt. yes the alt will charge both batteries. A second battery acts like a capaciator

If you have the stock [105amp] alternator.. you really have waaaay too much stuff running off that sucker.. its almost pushing it running the factory stuff! [at least on mine].

1993 SLE: Lets say you have a 900CCA battery, what would that equate to in farads [for caps]?
