check your battery voltage.. if it'* low turn off the amps and charge your battery...try that... no..don't turn the amps back on until you are sure it'* not them.

We've seen cases where amps sucked the life out of the battery and alternator to the point of the car stalling out.

what was the amp gage reading when this happened.
Was it in + or - territory? Could be the alt can't handle the load draw.

D4684E, If you're running the stock alternator (105 or 125 amp), you may want to consider upgrade anyway. How old is the existing battery & alt? Your electrical system may need servicing & preventive maintenance. (cleaning battery terminals, cable connections both ends of cables, battery main ground terminations)
