got into an argument about how much power you can get out of a 120 amp alternator. would it be safe to say you can run 2000 watts with the correct batteries and everything?
-
you can run 10000w on a 120a, but you need to have a TON of batteries.
In reality, a 120a alt on its own can support 1200w or so. Maybe 1400w, maybe 1500w. Then when you add batteries that will go up a good amount per battery.
-
Alright. This guy just keeps going on that you can't run any more power than what the alt can supply and that the batteries just regulate the voltage.
-
All it does is stress the alt when you run more than it can handlle, you cushion that with reserve aka batteries. There are a few builds that have 10k+ watts on a stock 60a alt, because they have a dozen batteries
