Default Re: Alternator options

well you need to find out more about the alt.

for example

200 amp may actually produce 200 amps, but at 5000 RPM.
at idle it may only produce 100 amps..

as for the OEM 145 amp.. i do not have the specs on it, so i cant give you a comparison.

most likely, the 200 amp only will produce the full 200 amps somewhere about 1200 rpm to 1800 rpm, which is prefectly fine.

you are also looking for somethign that produces 14.5 volts there or abouts.


the benefit is you can run more toys without worries of taxing your system.
