of course your lights will dim at an idle the HO probally puts out the same amount at idle but at 1500-2000 rpms it puts out a max of 220-240 so your fine, all alternators run like this so its not a problem with the battery, and also the optima batterys work great and they can be drained and recharged with no problem there ment for that type of stuff. i just put a yellow top in my trunk so I don't have any light dimming period.
What if I don't want the move the (yellow top) battery to the trunk and instead get a red top with the reversed posts? Will it perform and last (almost) as well? I don't have a monster system, just one 400W and a 260W amp. I'm more interested in the lights dimming.
BTW, my HO alternator started to whine this weekend while I was at the Ford Nationals in Carlisle, Pa (almost 6 hours away from home). Turns out there is a problem with the bearings. I spoke to Don at Volitile Performance and he's taking care of it for me. It's good to know they stand behind their products.
