So on the show Trunks! they were wiring in a second battery and said not to wire it to run 14 volts or you'll fry all 12 volt ecessories. Recently some guy laughed at me when I said this so I'm wondering if anything will happen running 14 volts. Possibly the show said it to protect themselves?

Yeah the show is protecting themselves, anyway a normal car battery is full charged at 12.5 volts anyway, in normal automotive electrical system runs between 12.0 and 14.4 volts, my numbers may be slightly off since Im a computer progammer and not a Installer

AHHH i would say no! Alot of truck espically the newer trucks run and stay around the 14v area.

How can someone who is competing in a show do anything to the people who are giving the show, because they run to many volts to there guages and so on?

Someone was BS'ing you big time!!

Most cars run at 14.4 volts right out of the box...
