Added 6-35W lights, not enough charge, now what?
added 6- 35W lights on 2 switches and a yellow top battery, but battery light comes on and engine breaks up over 35 mph. Turn off lights and rzr runs fine. Any suggestions of aftermarket alternator or heard of rewinding stock alternator. Or anything else?

Re: Added 6-35W lights, not enough charge, now what?
I am being told adding a second battery won't solve the problem. Apparently the draw is more than the alt. is putting out even with a second battery which is where the computer is reading a negative draw and putting off the sensor and I did notice the rzr started breaking up around 35 mph. Once I shut the 6 lights off I added the rzr ran fine and the battery light went off.

Some people are saying I need to go to the HID's, apparently I am being told the HID is drawing substantially less volts. I wonder if the previous post is not having problems because he is running HID's?

Big difference between the draw of 6 35watt Halogens and 6 35watt HID's.
