how bad is your voltage drop, if you lights dim it doesnt really mean much at all. go measure with a DMM to see how bad the volts drop and come back.

yeah dude i dont got one of those. the lights barely dim, u have to stare at it for it to be noticable, and my battery reads 12.7 at my dads dealership wen they did the 26pt inspection on it.. if that helps at all

ok well its kinda hard to say without having a DMM but i think you should be fine as long as you arnt dropping below battery voltage.

lights dim from even a very small voltage change like say 14-13.5 i notice a big dim in my car even with a HO alt it does make a lot of dimming. but my voltage isnt dropping low at all its just changing so because of that change youll see dimming

just wait and see because right now it sounds like your fine, but with all the extra current you may need bigger reserve from a battery.
