When running headlights the battery will die

The Wildfire WFH50-S2E battery may die when running the headlights due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. Weak or Old Battery: If the battery is old or no longer holds a full charge, running the headlights (which draw power) can quickly drain it.
2. Insufficient Charging System: The charging system, such as the stator or regulator/rectifier, may not be generating enough power to keep the battery charged while the headlights are on.
3. High Power Draw from Headlights: The headlights may be drawing more current than the system can supply, especially if they have been replaced with higher-wattage bulbs not suited for the bike.
4. Faulty Electrical Connections: Loose or corroded wiring can reduce charging efficiency, causing the battery to discharge faster than it charges.
5. Battery Not Charging While Riding: If the battery is not charging properly during operation, it will eventually die when additional electrical loads, like headlights, are used.
Testing the battery voltage and the output of the charging system can help isolate the exact cause.
