[QUOTE="Databyter, post: 6909995, member: 621750"] Your battery should be fine with that Amp. Your other battery must have been ready to go, or perhaps your alternator wasn't charging it. Connect your stuff up and use your car right. It's made to run and as far as I can tell your Amp is a good power level for a general purpose Amp. But it's not a juice robbing monster by any means. Of course you have to hook your main and any spare batteries up to an alternator (although you don't really need another batt. unless you like to run a lot with the car off). If you do hook up a aux battery for your Amp use a battery isolator so that the alternator only charges the battery that needs it, and only as much as is needed, otherwise both batts get the same charge current whether they need it or not, which is bad for the batt.s and wasteful on the alt.
