yep... I read up on the lead acid batteries. If I roll start and avoid using the starter, I don't hardly use any of the capacity... The starter is an energy monster! Even having my LED headlights and LED running lights with the car running doesn't use all that much on a 10-20 minute drive. However, I figure it's best to leave my alternator switched on during any night driving or possibly on days that have very little sunlight.
