But don't worry it may be something that can be easily explained and quickly remedied. 😀
If you have unexplained strain on the alt/ voltage drop of any type. One thing to do is to check your batteries. If you have a corrupted cell then you may be dumping current into a battery that will never hold that charge. This in turn can cause you alt to overwork to try to maintain its voltage under a constant load.
One way to check if this is the issue is to isolate the components of the system.
Start by testing the battery under a load tester or "battery health tester" at your local auto parts store. (This should be a free service)
