In the planning stage for a new car and was wondering about battery choices. Since we have to run an alternator, would like pros and cons of the following systems.Which one do you have and why?Thank you for your input.

1. Conventional one 12 volt up front w/ working alternator. Most popular.
2. One 16 volt up front w/ appropiate alternator. Don't know anyone using this personally.
3.Two 12 volts wired in series. Alternator hooked to both. Very popular.
4. Two 12 volts. One for starting and ignition hooked to alternator and the other to power everything else.
5.Another that I might not have considered. But not the one with a fake battery up front and one in trunk hooked to alternator. Don't want to go that route . Although a good way to shed 32+ front end pounds
