maintaing power

Ok here is something I came to. People buy the most exspensive batteries and high output alternators, and still experience voltage drop at 11 volts and steady decline. What do most people do to solve voltage drop.

Turn it down?

You have to ask yourself how much drop is acceptable, and size everything to meet that goal...

i dont understand where u are coming from. Break it down for me my friend.

If you're dealing with a lot of power, sizing the system to eliminate all voltage drop could get expensive. There's a reason why dB Drag guys have 16 or more parallel runs of cable; fractions of a volt lost could be what makes a first place into a second. So unless you're chasing that kind of diminishing returns, ultimately you're going to get to a point where some voltage drop is acceptable.

oh yea i understand that, I know THE is going to happen regaurded less, but what im saying is whats the best way to prevent that from happening, I want 2 stay at 12 to 14.4-9 volts.any tips besides batts, and alternators.

Multiple runs of heavy gauge wiring, and solid connections.
