Why would you upgrade to a 16v battery?

When you do can you run a stock charging and wiring in your car or do you need to upgrade?

16 volts spin the engine over faster.
If you run a mag and or machanical injection it will start easier.
Also if you run electric pumps and fans they will run faster.
I run 16 volt with an alternator.
I run a step down on the fuel pump on the motor and when I run nitrous I run 16 volts to the fuel pump.

I switched to 16 volts last year and never stepped anything down.I also run an alternator. so when the car is running its at 18 volts plus. Motor spins over like a top.
