[QUOTE="jrwalte, post: 4777128, member: 584454"] As long as you place the clamp on the wire between the the alt and the bat then the clamp should only get the amperage coming out of the alt and not include what the battery helps to provide. This could at least tell you if your alt is providing enough for the system under full tilt by running the test on the alt wire and then run it on the battery wire and see if they're the same. If the bat amperage is higher, the alt isn't providing the entire current. But I can't even find an auto store around here with a DC clamp. And I'm not going to buy one for $100. It can be a pain [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
