Well.... it's keeping up then. If it doesn't show discharge, it is keeping up. Is it charging the battery..... no. FWIW, I've ran 6 lights total on my 1811 for almost 10 years. (Same amount of charging ability.) I have to let the machine run for a while at the end of the day with everything off to keep the battery charged. If I don't, after a few days, it will go dead. Basically, charging system keeps up, but doesn't leave any to charge the battery. Bigger alternator is not a choice for me. Is for you so, get-er-done!
