Re: Linear Current Draw

You may be consuming just TOO much juice.

In a friend's car, one night, driving home, he had his very loud stereo 
system cranked, his headlight highbeams on, heater, windshield wiper, and 
CB.. when he would key up with his linear on, the car stalled and jerked 
violently (stick shift).  Turning a few accessories off solved the problem..

:-)

What capacity alternator are you running, John, and what RPMs are you at 
when you key up?

Where's that dual battery setup at?  Wire the linear to the secondary 
battery that's charged via an isolator... no more problems.
