[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 6728681, member: 573988"] No I ignored what he said and paid attention to what he meant. It is perfectly possible to run a 2500watt amp off of a 90amp alt, and 2 high amp hour batteries. Thats what I was explaining, That doesn't change the fact that you can run a 5kw amp on the same system for a few minutes, would I recommend it? Of course not, is it possible? sure is. But as I said the higher the current discharge, the more inefficient the battery discharge and charge. Thats a major reason cars have such larger capacity for current draw than necessary. However, a higher current draw is harder on the BATTERY(S). not the alternator. The alternator delivers the same current potential at all times, although this current is controlled by the voltage regulator. You simply can't "DISCHARGE" an alternator because it doesn't store a charge. It's output is a constant modified by the output regulator. Or X(h)|h>1 where X is a constant and h is variable. So if your alt is 90 amp your equation is 90(h)|h>1 Even if your h is 1. (100% delivery of the amps current supply) The nominal current of the alt does not change. More importantly you are one of those really annoying forum members who pretends to not understand logical arguments and gives highly specified rebuttals with the intention of either protecting your as$ from looking wrong, or intensionally causing arguments, Ive seen you do it many times. The fact is you know i'm right, And you understand my argument. Whether or not you can admit this, and thus apply the information to the given situation will determine your maturity and self image.
