Re: [DML] Alternator Question!



If I remember correctly, the alternator will only produce the amount of
current that the car requires. The rating 105 Amp or 150 Amp is the maximum
rated current for the alternator. I am curious though, how much current can
the wiring handle between the alternator and the battery?
