    Crusty old Crown Vic (standard US cop car of yesteryear) had a 160A alternator (2kW) and bigger/more luxury/more accessorized cars will have 210A, 220A units.

    The demand is only increasing with more and more gizmos in vehicles, hence the current (hehehe bad pun i know) puich to go to 48V in vehicles to keep the current down.
    wow, kinda makes you think, why do people want all that crap, shouldn't they be paying attention to driving!

    Actually, the old battery tests perfectly well.

    I bought a new fangled battery charger (I blew the last one up by connecting it to a running computer UPS lol) and its' seven stage blah-blah charging thingy gives it the thumbs up.

    Fitting the new reg/rect really cleaned things up. Pretty sure thats what it was.
