[QUOTE="Raptor 2014, post: 1539897, member: 12350"] You are approximately 73 AMPS when all the additional lighting is on - Lots of additional drain but you are Good to go. I thought about running an additional alternator just for reliability like an ambulance for an Alaska trip in the near future but haven't screwed with it yet - probably won't A second battery is always nice - Set up with a battery isolator so you don't drain your main battery when your ignition is off. I currently have a 6 ton winch - (Huge battery drain), currently 40 or so additional exterior lighting amps and a 2000 watt pure sign wave inverter, ARB dual air compressor connected to a 3 gallon aluminum under bed mounted tank all hooked up to (1) ignition off or (2) ignition on group 31 lithium ion Batteries bed mounted all being charged though stock alternator - No problem so far with the charging capacity - 2014 Raptor The alternator will be charging my trailer soon also when on the road - 2 additional group 31 lithium ion batteries. Will use a solar charger when parked. [/QUOTE]
