Seriously though, it seems like your current set-up going to LEDs should be ok though unless you run the stereo and lights at once, then a second one would be more of a recommendation.
Awesome, that's the ride in the movie Troll Hunter.

This is: In gear and underway ( at 80 mph when it happened on the Kawa ). Well except for the 6. It was found DOA and would start from a jump. But would die the moment the donor was removed.

In gear and underway? The battery became disconnected while driving? And the main was removed as well before the donor was removed? Interesting. I think I'm gonna watch for similar situations.

Now I would love to know the applicability of that. Especially considering what my 10 years has entailed, lol.

But indeed!

The battery became an open circuit. Resistance went to infinate. The alternator could not see the resistance from the battery.

These are the words of a poor technician. Or an idiot. I'll give you the benifit of a doubt.

Cheares to you to brother.
