Default Load on stock battery.

Plan on installing Smittybuilt XCR 8, and two more kc daylighters. (already have two on) As long as I dont run the winch and lights at the same time, is this to much of a load for the stock battery to handle?

Mine does fine like that. I don't run it all at same time. The lights and the winch. I got flood daylighters and long range daylighters on my jeep. Both sets of daylighters seem to be getting enough power. All lights on it works great.

Lights don't come close to the amperage that winch can draw. If at all possible keep the idle up while winching to let the alternator help the battery.
