RE: [DML] Alternator amps

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nick,
Depending on how it was built. The 120 amps rating is rated cold. They are
cold for about 2 to 3 minuets then they start heating up. Normally they will
drop about 15% of the rated cold output. That will make it about 102 amps
Maybe. The Brute master is rated Hot as normal driving conditions. Yours
will work, but some of the safety features I build in aren't there and the
output will be about 10 amps more than original. It's is however better than
the original.
