How far back does the honda electrical load system go?

I can feel the engagement of something during cruise -- like a muted AC compressor (on the '98 Acura). The batt is way overdue and I haven't determined that it's the cooling fan or this on/off alt load described. Whatever it is, robs power and kills FE for about 10-15 seconds and kicks back out for a few minutes. I drive w/ my headlights at all times for safety, which is the only constant load, aside from overall vehicle draw. The blower is in the Off position.
