Default Adding additional lights, need advice.

I recently added 2 100 watt KC driving lights on my 2013 JK Unlimited. Wondering if I can add 2 additional 100 watt fog lights without adding an additional battery?

You can run them all off one battery. Just use relays and the correct wire size.

Yes, a single battery can run quite a few lights. But it's more about the alternator than the battery. The stock alternator puts out 160 amps at idle I believe? People add lots of lights, air compressors, amps, power inverters, cb radios, etc all on the stock battery.

A few sets of KC lights will be fine for you
