scrambler... that's just to run the lights... what about the ignition, the radio.... how about the amps needed to charge the batter? 3 is small to run all that.
Your right but we were just talking lights.
As IRK said you will need more than the 75 amps to make sure the vehicle can even run while the lights are on.
Yes a 160 or bigger Alternator will cover you but the cost... Ka ching...
besides, if he ended up putting the lights in series by mistake the lights won't be very bright.
Hopefully the lights will be setup in sets of two lights per relay and power feed. So series connections will not come in to the picture; I hope, I hope.
he should just get the larger alternator and call it a day... I mean, who doesn't want an alternator that can have a welder hooked up to it and weld stuff while the truck is idling?!!!
Ya but what price glory... I agree BUT can he afford the new alternator and if the draw is that much can he afford a new battery too.
What is being said here rangerdanger9398 is, "Do you really need all of the lights or do you just want them" ?
If you just want them, you will need to decide how much you are willing to pay for the setup. Lights-8, relays-4/wiring-enough heavy gauge 12 or heavier/fuses and holders-4/switches-4, new alternator-1 and new battery-high amp hour-1. ka-ching, ka-ching $$$$$
