Hi all,
Long story short, my battery is shot, and I couldn't get a new one before I left for the track. I jump started the car in the morning and it was ok for the rest of the day.
That being said, my car felt a little down on power, especially higher up in the rpm range, so I was wondering if a weak/dead battery can affect performance? Either by making the alternator work overtime to run accessories like the coolsuit, or affect the spark/fuel, or something else?
My butt dyno would say it was pretty significant, 3-5hp, which is why I am skeptical, but some have said it is possible? Any insight or experience on this would be appreciated!
Best,
Matt
