Re: Alternator size

Hi Vic, 25 amps for the old 50 amp automotive alternator - now running at a higher voltage and rather hot - is about right.
So yes, the new one should give a far higher initial output on bulk. I dont beleive the 25 amp limit is has seen is down to the reg or batteries. also depends where he was seeing the current ?.. is it pure charge or charge plus load of equipment in use etc.
