Im not sure if anyone else has this problem, but if I have my systems on for to long even if my cars on,Â;-) my battery light will come on for like ten minutes then it'll go of, this happens every now and then.Â;-) Any idea .

you need some caps man

Caps won't help for something that extreme, caps only help for the quick surges. If it's that bad, he needs a bigger alternator. [/b][/quote]
I agree, sounds like the drain is a few amps higher than the alternator puts out at engine idle speed. This means if he's not driving around and getting the rpms and charging amps up occasionally, the battery will slowly discharge.
Blueyez: if the lights all come on and when you turn the key all you hear is a click, it may be the starter, but you could need a jump. If nothing comes on at all, it's electrical. Check your negative connections as well, I have had the battery ground fray and cause intermittent engine issues, even causing it to shut down while running.
