. . . Like a 300 horse engine is producing anything near that at idle......I have a 40 amp DC to DC charger. It is a buck-boost device. At 14 volts input will output 40 amps at 14.7 cost is 50 amps input. At 12.7 volts (gotta love "smart" charging) 34 amps at 14.2 volts. The 220 amp alt handled both at idle without issue.
