[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 433697, member: 19498"] I wouldent think its a problem either but you should add up the claimed watt ratings of your new lighting and divide the total by 12 which is volts. for example,1000 watts of lighting divided by 12 volts is 83 amps. Make sure you using the actual watt draw or better yet amp draw if its provided on the light boxes. LED typically will say XX watts of power but only uses X watts of power. You could also use a DVM on the battery to see what voltage at idle its seeing. Your charging system may be weak and failing. A drop in idle speed indicates the alt is being worked a bit which is normal but is it no capable of handling the load. [/QUOTE]
