electrical strain

[neleotc 0]

Does anyone now what happens to your cars electrical system when you strain it? cause i have not upgraded my alternator and my capacitors and lights dim horribly, only upgrade i got is a a red cap battery

The battery can die or explode depending on the strain. The alternator will eventually die and other electrical components can be starved of electricity to the point that they die as well.

Why do you even have capacitors? you know they do nothing to help your slectrical system right?

ah basically there is going to be less voltage, which means more current which means heat...and we all know heat is bad, so that heat is gonna basically burn up ur components

Yep, need an alt to keep up with current demands and keep voltage from dropping.

Even multiple batts wont help for long if they dont have a source to keep them charged up... they will eventually die to and you will be in the same boat for extended runs.

Not good for anything in the car to have voltage swing and that much drop.
