Re: [DML] Alternator Question!

["Scott Mueller" <scott.a.mueller@xxxx>]

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?
