Have you put an Aux battery in to help with the power drain of your gear? Bodsys Brake Bible

Sorry showing my ignorance now......do RRS not have the second battery bay on the drivers side like a D3  I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Are you sure? A 2250Ah battery would be pretty big, you must be the only milkman using a battery powered RRS! What sort of chemistry is the battery i.e lead/calcium or conventional lead acid cos the charging voltage of the D3/RRS is quite high and could have an adverse effect on its life span. Somebody considerably more clued up will be along shortly.

I know of no-one else who has problems with the altinator. Battery issues are more likely. If you have the wrong battery it may be fried already. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Istr he does in car entertainment so is probably running a few kw of sytstems.
MO, did you know that there is a spare battery compartment under the hood? Opposite side to your main battery. Use that unless you've already filled it with toys.

You could also buy one off these and put it in the rear seat.
