[QUOTE="Michael Cacioppo, post: 563083, member: 57235"] One of the reasons for improving electrical conductivity and isolation is to get rid of noise and voltage drops. In "spec" is a funny term. It really means that it is within the limits as dictated by the design and materials used. In terms of electrical characteristics voltages are usually defined within a max and a min, but others, such as resistance , etc. are often specified as "X" or less or "X" or greater. For instance the amount of line noise in the power lead to the radio has a specified acceptable maximum. If the noise was less, you'd get BETTER reception on weak signals. The same is true for resistance to ground, maximum voltage drops, etc. Improving components above minimum spec values either increases the performance ( such as voltage drops to headlights being reduced) or increases reliability. If you are going to be adding additional electrical load, a spiral wound sealed Orbital or Exide battery would be very benefitial. The deep discharge/starting batteries (yellow top Orbital or equivalent) is what I think will serve you best in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
