[QUOTE="Justintoxicated, post: 2786153, member: 561240"] not my point :P Of course if your voltage drops and is still within spec then you will not have issues, but will still make less power than if it did not drop. P=I V (amps x volts) assuming 100% efficiency if your V drops the current is increased to make the same power. I believe what damages your alt is high currents which will melt the coils? I know on my ATV stator that is the issue. People tend to throw 50 watt bulbs driven off the stock stator and the windings CAN melt. Alternator should work similar... [/QUOTE]
