64 c10 battery question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1964 c10 with a 350 out of a 1970 chevelle in it. The battery has held a good charge up until I hooked up my lights, now if I run it with the lights on the battery dies. I can charge the battery and run the truck all day long but if I turn the lights on for a few minutes it drains the battery because when I cut the truck off and try to restart it the battery doesn't have the juice to start it. The battery, alternator, and voltage regulator are brand new and I didn't have this problem until I hooked up lights... What could be causing this problem?
