How many amps does car alternator put out?
Generally, the output from alternators ranges from 40 to 120 amps. A higher amp alternator can give up to 300 amps, depending on what you are using it for.
What happens if amps are too high?
The amperage should be perfectly balanced, too high current flow will damage parts of the circuit. If you’re using a charger with too high amperage that will overheat the battery and may cause a fire.
What happens if you put a higher amp alternator on my car?
As you add up your accessories’ draw, keep in mind you can never have too much amperage. That’s because amperage is basically the amount of electrical current your alternator can supply. High-output alternators will not harm your components or charging system, no matter how high you go with the amps.
Can I put a lower amp alternator on my car?
More often than not it won’t fit. The larger amp alternators often have larger cases so the lower amp one won’t fit in the same brackets. Also the electrical connections are different and the drive belt will be a different length.
Will a bigger alternator hurt my battery?
It doesn’t “hurt”. The amperage rating is the ability of the alternator to supply a certain amperage level …to consistently handle an amperage load. Most times, on a stock vehicle, the OEM spec alternator is more than adequate.
How do you know what amp your alternator is?
There is a positive cable from the alternator to the battery which charges the battery. This is generally connected to the main battery cable near the starter. Check out the amperes marked on the alternator, which is generally 12V, 80, 100, 120 A.
Do I need a higher amp alternator?
Accessories that require more power include aftermarket stereo systems, snowplows, winches, industrial radios, and power inverters, so if you intend to install and use components like these on your vehicle you may want to consider an alternator with a higher amp rating.
Is 150 amp alternator too much?
High Amp Alternator Supply and Demand
The way that current works is that any given electrical component will only draw as much amperage as it needs to operate. So while a powerful amplifier might suck up 150A, you don’t need to worry about that same 150A surging into your fancy LED headlights and blowing them out.
How many amps should an alternator put out at idle?
A healthy battery and alternator show 10-20 amperes charging current after a start and lasts a minute or so at idle, then drops off to 5 amps or even less thereafter.
Is a 105 or 140 amp alternator better?
140 amp would be good if you are running a lot of aftermarket stuff with a high draw, such as amplifiers, monitors, or lighting. If you are stock, the 105 is fine. If your lighting dims when you come to a stop, a higher amp alternator will help with that. I think that is the best answer to any post I’ve read this year!
