It puts out 200Amps. but under the description it says this: Unit Puts Out 85-95 Amps at Idle Excellent for High Watt Sound Systems and Off Road Light Packages New Voltage Regulator...New 200 Amp Stator...New High Temp Bearings... New Brushes... New Heavy Duty Rectifier with Solid Copper Heat Sink Positive Battery Cable to Alternator must be Upgraded to Heavier Gauge Wire(4 Gauge Recommended) what is a 200amp stator, also it says it puts out 95 amps idle. Whats this mean? I want to power an amp that consumes 150 amps, and have 50 amps left for my electronics. Will this alt do this, or is it a scam that only peaks @ 200 amps and normaly puts out 95 amps? |

If you're worried about it simply keep an eye on your voltage gauge if you have one, and turn down the tunes or rev up your engine a bit at stoplights. -Fishy |
