Alright so I have a Briggs and Stratton with an 16 AMP alternator on it. I want to run 2 35 watt lights (the one built into the scrambler) then I want to put two 55 watt hella on the roll cage. Thats 180 Watts total right?

Now if i have a 16 amp alternator that is 192 watts. (16*12)

I will have 12 watts left over

Do you guys think I will be okay? Running those lights. I plan on running the two 35 watt lights pretty much all the time, and then the other hellas only when its real dark.

Thanks

Don't forget the 10 or 15 amp fuses.....

If you have a back up pull start then go for it. If you dont then just have to learn how long you can run with the extra lights. But If your calculation are correct and your still ahead then even though its not much, you can run it for 10 minutes or so to make up for startup power loss to recharge. Then turn the juice on.

thanks

Thanks guys, I'll make sure to keep you updated on the project. There is no way I could put a pull start on it, way to much compression, I have to use channel locks just to turn the shaft. I'm just going to have to be careful not to run out of juice.

Thanks!
