Check the alternator. You can usually get it tested if you go to an auto parts retailer such as Auto Zone, Checker Auto Parts, Pep Boys or whatever is in your area.

(no it uses the energy from the car battery not the energy made by the engine)Yes it does increase consumption because the battery has to be recharged by the power of the engine driving the alternator or the dynamo

Can you take the power for car lights straight from a car battery?
When your lights are on and your engine is not running you are taking the power for your car lights directly from your battery. If you leave them on long enough, you will run down your battery and your car will not start. Then you will need a jump.
Dash Lights Going on and off Headlights dim when driving along.?
I'd check your alternator. Disconnecting the positive terminal while the engine is running will tell you. If the engine dies when you disconnect the battery, it's your alternator. If it keeps running it's something else, like your battery. I had the same problem.
If all the lights work but the engine won't turn over could the battery be good enough for the lights but not the starter?
with the information you've given, it sounds like a weak battery.
Why does the engine make noise when the lights are turned on?
Alternator straining to maintain battery charge?
Does the battery in the trunk run the whole car?
Yes.. Well, not the engine of it. The engine/movement of the car is the power of gas/oil. Not the battery. The battery controls: lights, radios, heaters.....etc Hope this helped ;)
