Yes Joe, the draw of current (amperage) will bring the voltage down. Some guy's here switched to all LED lamp's to lessen the amount of draw. The only drawback to led's is that because there draw is alot less, thing's like the flasher for the signals will have to be changed, but the cost of an electronic flasher far outweigh's the amount of amps going back to the battery. Retired Gentalman posted up what each component used electrically some time ago, and there wasn't much left for charging the battery. As long as your getting a positive (increase) on the voltage with everything going, (except the starter, of course) over the battery voltage at rest, all should be good.
