[QUOTE="skdooley, post: 7124214, member: 627957"] ^^ True Mike. Trying to just help him understand the situation. Its also important to remember with that 90 amps from the stock alt, thats peak, not idle. Idle speeds will be less than 90 amps, and thus less amperage to draw from. That's also if the alt is new, if its old and used, it could be producing less power and charging at less than 14.4 volts. As alts get hot, if they're not designed well, power can also be lost through heat. [/QUOTE]
