How many light pods with one battery?

This isn't a suggestion type of thing, it's math. Your alternator output and, to a lesser extent, truck wiring capacity determines how much your electrical system can support.

You could have a pod that runs 5 watts or one that runs 100 watts. Those differences matter far more than simple number of pods. What are you looking to run?

 

There really isn’t an easy answer to this.

How many do you want?
What brand are you looking at?
How will you wire them?
How will they be switched?
How will they be fused?
Will you use them with the truck running or not?
And lastly, what is your electrical background?

Most switches you buy aren’t rated to run the current through them to power a light so you would need to have them connected to relays or another means of activating them (switchpro, s-pod, or relays)

You’d need to have the power distributed via a fuse block. If you’re looking to add several separate light pods you don’t want to wire them all to the battery.

Give us more information and we’d be glad to help. There’s a lot of helpful TW members with electrical backgrounds that would be more than willing to help point you in the right direction.

 

You should be fine with the OE battery. You could go with a blue sea 6 fuse block to distribute the electrical for them as well as give you a little room for expansion if you decide to add more accessories.
