I had no problems and was able to drive 75 miles before reaching 12.1 volts on the stock battery.
Today, I have a Group 24 Gel Cel in the trunk of my Honda and a quick alternator disconnect that can be used to turn off the alternator and go for about 50 miles in the summer heat without any worries.  |
On the Honda do you really gain much as Honda uses a 2 stage load alternator , ELD (runs at low outputs with low loads to increase mpg ) ?
