At what point do you determine the need for an additional battery?
And what is the determining factor?
Calculating amperage draw from amplifiers?
Calculating output watts from amplifiers?
Just curious on that end of the spectrum as i see some posting about possibly building a competition set-up, this would also need to be thrown into the equation

TIA
YOOP

Yooper,
No replies yet?
I was reading up on this, and that a inline switch is needed once bike is started as to not over-tax the charging system?

If you are short of fuel, a small trailer of them will get you pretty far with the starter. However, keep it to 2 or at most 3rd gear. Starts pooping out in 4 for power.
