Your battery may handle all that as long as you aren't using everything at once. I'm running factory head and tail lights, a plow and winch, Polaris heater (uses coolant for heat source, but has a two-stage electric fan/blower) and sometimes a 12-volt heated seat pad. Because I live in Alaska and often need lights and heater while plowing - thus lots of winch use, too - and the Ranger is parked outdoors, I installed a battery minder and an engine heat pad which I plug in while it's parked to make sure the battery is topped off before I begin the next round. :idea: If you are going far off-road or somewhere that a battery charger / minder isn't an option, a back-up battery might be a good idea.
