High voltage

In normal every day use, a high rated alternator would put out the same current as any other alternator.

SORRY that is NOT TRUE. Yes, a higher rated output unit will put out the same as a lower one IF THE BATTERY is back up to normal and IF THE loads on it are "same as" a "normal car."

BUT all you need is A CIRCUMSTANCE

You leave the headlights on...........or play the stereo while parked.........or you flood it on a cold day and need a lot more starter cranking time

AND THEN the thing will output sky high amperage until the battery comes back up.

This is a well documented problem, folks. All you need to do is "throw" a nice big huge rated alternator on your stocker and if you did that to say, 100 cars, you would start to generate a pattern.......of failure........A few, even quite a few, might do "fine." I will guarantee you that others won't fare so well
