[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7574902, member: 629234"] well, what the car and other battery is using out of the equation, if the battery is only accepting 3a, then the alternator is only putting out 3a....that's just how it is. there is no magic disappearing current that is allowed to pass elsewhere. the heat comes from whether it is chemically converting that 3a to storage, or how much is being passed. only way to pass more current is to exceed voltage, and follow ohms law, which the alternator will not, unless the alt field regulator is shorted.
