i've got a 2002 pontiac grand pric w/ a stock alternator (100a) and can't afford to get a ho alternator so i'm going to do the big 3 and need to get a new battery anyways (currently only at 60a), and was just wondering what a good battery would be. i'm new to this so don't have any idea, but i was looking briefly and came across 2, are these good enough? can i go lower? any input would be much appreciated!

Battery is NOT a replacement for an HO alternator, and will make just about zero difference; when the engine is running the alt is the power supply. When it's off, the battery supplies power.


Unless your competing (playing with engine off), save the money for the HO alt.

i'm not going to be competing. right now my battery is too small, so i'm only getting 60a. out of my alt.; so was going to buy a new battery anyways. does it matter how nice of a battery it is as long as i can get full production from my alt?

i can't afford to get a ho alt. w/ the setup i want, so would really like to not have to change what i want just so i can get a ho alt.

also, what would be some good brands for batteries?

how much power are we talking about here.

also M.S. is 110% correct. no substitution for a ho alt.

I miss Muddy. He was all about the charging system.
