Yes, if you wanted, you could run 8 batteries. Your alternaotr will be working it's *** off and not have a full life, but it would work.

I run two batteries in the rear for my stereo, and one up front for the van. They're isolated through a solenoid switch, so when the van's off, the stereo pulls only from the rear batteries. When the engine's on, the alternator charges all three.

 

I dont know if i would be better off replacing my battery or adding another. Hmmmm.

 

usually you only need 2batts if you do alot of key off listening... you should isolate the 2nd battery from the 1st when the engine is off unless they are identicle....

 

What about replacing my battery with something like this? It has enough CCA for my car and a lot of reserve capacity (even more than most optimas, etc).

Yea, it will work... more reserve is nice, but I guarentee it dosen't have a low low ESR like an orbital...

also the Problem with a big battery like that is that it will be more of a draw on your system while the engine is running...

 

i would have your alternator check as well as your battery before trying to fix you problem
if either one is not up to snuff your not going to be fixing your problem
