TeamHT Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 i think the question needs a bit more clarification... are you asking if there is any way you can draw any more power from your stock alternator?

killallblue Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 still have the stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris661 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 still have the stock in my case. the stock (CS130D) put out 45 amps at idle. and as for the AD244 put out around 100 amps at idle. so in my case it's a upgrade Quote http://www.youtube.com/user/EAZYCHRIS?feature=mhee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
