Default not getting enough power

Hey guys and gals, I have a 95 ES300 with an in-dash TV, playstation 2, VCR, and headrest monitors. My problem is before I got all of that installed my car started and ran fine. A couple of weeks after I got it all installed my car started hesitating when I went to start it up. So, I got a new battery installed and that solved my starting problem. But, now I'll be driving down the road watching a movie and my screens will totally go blank on me and all of my lights will shut off. I talked to a car audio place and they told me that it wasn't my tv's that was loading my battery down. So, what should I do please help!

Default Sounds like your altenator.

HAve you upgraded it? Have you had your existing one checked?

Sounds like you need a yellow top.

Go to a mechanic, make sure they have a load tester

Load test your battery
Load test your charging system
