First of all, what voltage are Yamaha warrior 350 atv batteries?

Second, If i wanted to mount some extra lights on my warrior, would it be on to simply splice the current headlight wires and run them to the extra lights? Would this drain the battery?

Thanks

the voltage in the battery is 12. most atv batteries are 12 volt but rated at different amps. I wanna say its a 12 amp battery also as most of the smaller ones are. do you currently have headlights on it? if not, then you should be able to just use their wires. if you do have the factory lights and just want to add more, then I wouldn't splice into the wires. pulling more than what the wire is rated for would cause them to heat up and melt. I would run different wires to a relay and switch for them and be sure to use the proper gauge wire. too big won't hurt but too small will. always run a relay also as voltage always spikes when you turn them on and without a relay it could lead to a possible short. hope this helps
