Cardboardcat15 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Amps = Watts/Volts Is this a good way to get an estimate of my power capabilities? Trying to get a general idea of what I can run off of a 180 amp alt with a reliable batt under the hood. My Channel on YouTube.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 That is a correct formula. So for example. 180 amps x 13.5 volts = 2430 watts But that's in a perfect world with no parasitic draw from the vehicle, etc. etc. and all that stuff. Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!
