I put 2 in my car just because I needed weight to stay around 10.00 and I figured it mayes well be useful for something.

Just a yellow top here with no alternator, charging in between rounds.
My Dart has a yellow top and a small alternator and I still charge it.

I added a second battery to my junk at the beginning of this year, i wish i had done it 3 years ago. My stuff with all the electronics, even with an alternator would tax one battery pretty hard. Two works way better for me.
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

Maybe Mike needs to quit running those TA converters and he could race more?  
I'm running two batteries and an alternator also.
