17HP Kohler running extra lighting

[frenchconxion]

Could someone please tell me what the charging system on an 84 vintage Kohler 17hp would be capable of coping with? I amthinking of replacing the standard headlights with LED units and possibly adding 2 possibly 4 work lights to my cab frame. I also have a winch fitted but hope not to have to use it so much.
Thanks for any hints

The charging system is 20 amps at most, can't find magnum Kohler book today. A very good battery is your storage area for winch use and hi amp draws. You can run a bunch of LED lights for 5-6 amps. My favorite batteries are spendy AGM ones. They offer long draws and hold voltage better than others. Hope this helps some
