Happens only on occasion when I have my stereo and a/c on. I'll apply the brakes and the headlights with dim a tiny bit, enough for me to notice but not enough to the point where they are dying. If I do it with ceiling light (i cant remember the correct name for it) on, it dims aswell. Would putting a capacitor in my system prevent this or is my battery or alternator failing?

 

Start by having the charging system checked, free at most alt./batt. shops, only takes a few min. 94

 

How many amps are you running in your stereo system? All the capacitor does is store a little bit of charge in it and if needed gives it a "boost".

If you are running serious amps like at least 2 with high voltage, they you are drawing quite a bit of amperage. You may want to add a second battery to the system like a Stinger SP800.

If you need one let me know, we are dealers for Stinger.

And how will giving him some added playing time while the car is off help the situation?
