If I were to add 10 lights on my roof rack, would I need a different battery configuration (2 batteries, etc.) and/or alternator? I am thinking 4 front facing, 2 on each side, and 2 reverse. They would be on toggles and would rarely all be on at the same time. Does anyone have a setup similar to this with pictures or any advice on how this would work?

Some on here have upgraded the alternator to 160amps (i think) and that may be enough to power them as long as you dont run too many other things at once. With ten lights though i'd be more concerned about aircraft mistaking you for runway four.

There is also a 202 amp alternator out there! My guess is you would have to put any extra batteries inside in the back. I don't think you could find room under the hood. You would also have to change a lot of wires. BUT, you could turn night into day! :shock:

If you want to talk to someone that really knows about charging/battery systems get a hold of: www.jolynenterprises.com John Palmer knows his stuff. He works on motorhomes but the principal is the same.
