Craig's got it, he wants to use a 300w light bar. I think he's crazy, I have a
24" bar on the ASV and its like daytime, I dunno what he thinks he's going to
achieve.
I'm going to go back with "Dual alternators is harder than its worth" which is
true in a very practical sense...

There are 300 W LED light bars. 300 W / 12 V = 25 A.

That's a good idea.
Somewhere around here I have a link to a CB page where they had a 1 kW CB
transmitter in an automobile. They had thre, maybe four, alternators.
