Raycorman,
Well, as you can see and read, you've got mostly "run the engine" answers. And, it surely makes sense because of the obvious reason, in short, the alternator is doing most of the work.
Common misconception.
Depends on alternator, at idle you can expect 30-50 amp delivered.
So if the motor takes 100amp, guess where the remaining 70-50 amps is coming from?
