Your alternator may not produce enough voltage to power your electrical system fully. In older cars this was ok because you didn’t have such a high demand for power unlike todays cars with power windows, steering, heated seats, cameras, etc. best err in the side of caution, and have the battery and the alternator tested at a parts store.
