I'm considering getting an uprated alternator for the valver as the electrics are 'a bit weak'... lol
But I don't understand where the extra power will go if I don't use it!
If I buy a 100amp alternator rather than the standard 70amp alternator then, assuming I don't use all of the extra 30 amps, where will the rest go? Will it just go back into the battery? What happens if the battery's 'full'? Will it go Bang?!? :S lol
Also, I think the current one is a bit weak and only producing 13.x volts rather than 14.4 volts, so I assume that I will be getting less amps off it and hence not the full 70? Presumably then, if the 100amp one starts to tail off in performance at some point in the future, I'll still be getting more than the 70amps but not the full 100amps?
I don't understaaaaaand!
Sorry for all the questions
