simple battery power question

[chad10]

Hey, i was just wondering if just a regular truck battery would be enough to run say....4 offroad lights and a simple sound system. Will i need to upgrade to a better battery? or have two? or what? dumb question, but i haven't dealt with this before.

The battery stores and supplies them with power, the alternator creates the power for them.

You should be just fine.

Batt and alt will be just fine. Just do it and enjoy.

Sweet thanks guys. I also might to a light bar which would give me a total of 6 offroad lights. Do you think i would still be fine or should I go for a more powerful alternator to supply the power that will be drawn?

It will be just fine, with out a doubt.

i recommend running the lights off a good relay

Anytime you add lights you should be adding a relay.
