[QUOTE="thatkidbob, post: 2164547, member: 566497"] you can pull as much current as you want. but it WILL destory your alternator in the long run, and it shortens battery life significantly... by the way... its definitely an option: [URL="http://verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/store/skudetail.nhtml?profile=highoutputalternators&uid=10245&returnURL=http%3A//verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/highoutputalternators"]http://verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/pages/store/skudetail.nhtml?profile=highoutputalternators&uid=10245&returnURL=http%3A//verizonsupersite.com/4alterstartcom/highoutputalternators[/URL] if you don't get an alternator, at least get a deep cycle battery so that you won't end up killing your battery and alternator simultaniously... instead it'll just be the alt that dies [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] edit: btw... you should subtract at LEAST 30 amps from your alt output for your car's electrical needs, which leaves you with 50 amps. assuming 90% efficiency you've got more like 630 watts on tap before your battery comes into play. also, you must consider the fact that your alt likely puts out much less amperage at idle, probably more along the lines of 40 or 50 amps.
