[QUOTE="bugflipper, post: 6808865, member: 621756"] The alternator came off my solstice when I went to an Iraggi alt in it. Said 180 amp max @ 1600 rpm, 100 amp max at idle on it so I screwed up. Thought it was 140. These alts are messed up anyhow. They only put out the load required to charge. If there is a drain they put out the amperage required. If not, the way it was explained to me is they do not put out full amperage. Some kind of electronically controlled regulator to reduce parasitic loss and increase life. I got the blue top optima in this morning. PITA to get the stock one out. He has it in primer so maybe not too much longer. [/QUOTE]
