Just put a bigger battery in.
its the alternator that charges it up so as long as its in good nick it will keep your battery charged.

Does it keep going flat?
or when you try and click it over a few times its then flat?

Doesn't matter how big the battery i, if the alternator isn't up to the task the volts will drop.
Depending on how much on an increase you want, you could always just try a smaller pulley on the one you have.

Yeah, i already have a huge 550CCA battery, it's just the voltage drops when i'm listening to my stereo... I have no problem starting the car or anything tho... (apart from when my d**khead brother listens to the stereo for 3 hours with the car turned off... Mad ) how would you put a smaller pulley on? sorry i've never paid much attention to alternators before they aren't my favourite part of the engine bay... Razz

If you go to a half decent auto sparky they should be able to help ya out. Give commet batteries in Geebung a call see what they say.
