My rule#1 for buying an alternator is if I can't get an amp versus rpm curve I don't buy it. The amperage rating can be VERY deceptive, especially at low rpm.

That makes sense. I will assess the amp draw for my components and go from there. Thank you.

WTBUY in the classifieds is your friend here !

I would be very curious how you came up with 152 amps. That seems very high. Other than the fan, what draws more than 10 amps?

Where's that Bob lad when we need him.... lol What on earth needs 152 amps to keep the battery up to snuff?

Yes about a year ago!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and remember.
