Just curious as to how much stuff can be hooked up to a car battery? Right now I have my led washer lights attached to it and my sound system. Just wondering how much more stuff I can actually attach to this thing?!

As long as your not pulling more power out of your battery, than your alternator can recharge back in, you'll be fine.

if your lights dim with the music, or when you turn on alot of accessories, you might want to upgrade to a better battery (Optima Red Top or Yellow Top) and a high current alternator to charge it.

you can hook an unlimited number of devices to a battery and you will be fine.
