Something definitely wrong there...your PW are drawing too much juice. This is gonna be hard on the alternator (and window motor) and will prematurely wear the brushes. They install the smallest alternator possible these days, but even then I would not expect that much draw even if you were running a couple other things at the same time. Get it checked if you plan on keeping the car long term.
