without an alternator all ur eletrical's will be dead , the battery is just to get the engine started , once the engine is started , all the eletricals stuff depend on the alternator , thats why when ur a/c compressor kicks in , ur lights will be dimmer and then it gets back to normal , cause the a/c compressor shares the same pully with the alternator , when the a/c robs the power the alternator will slow down and then regain speed . basically bigger alternator is much better in terms of supplying the power .
xtorm ,
