So with all the replies so far most suggest I am going to blow up or fry my alternator...How will this happen I would like to know if anyone has a sound response or data to show why.
So using 50 amps max from my 105 amp alt is going to cook it? Remember I have 50 amp breakers on both ends truck and camper side
What would be the difference if it was raining at night, wipers on and headlights on. 160 watt stereo cranking and ac on cause its hot out...?? How many amps is that?
And since I have an old truck I dont have heated seats, navigation system... etc.. and such...
Thats done all the time sitting in traffic say from an accident on a highway or rush hour standstills..
Ever wait for the wife outside with truck running while she shops with above scenario and all accessories on?
Just trying to be realistic here is all.
If I wanted to lug a noisey gen and power a portable charger I would have bought one. Or I would have upgraded my convertor that outputs 13.6 volts and power that with a noisy gen. And since I am in forests solar will not work.
So with that said I have a chevy and do all my own repairs on my cars. Infact I never been to the dealer for any repair work...
Anyways I will get amp readings this weekend. And if I blow up my alt I will be the first to tell you.. Also I will het temp readings from the alt as I have a laser thermometer.. I will get hydrometer readings too..
