My goal here is not to get into arguments with people.
But if it makes little black ducky happy I changed the what I said to running the entire "electronics of the" car instead of entire car.

As far as the battery goes, the draw off the alternator onto a fresh fully charged battery is still going to be at least amp. May only amount to 1/20th to 1/10th of a hp in electrical power (that you're gaining all the time), but shedding the type of load plus 20 lbs of weight (more importantly giving me more engine bay space) is a plus I'll take.
