Re: [ST] Alternator output.



You should be fine as long as you aren't running other high draw equipment 
(like a two-way radio etc) and you don't drive in city traffic all day.  I 
used to have the curve info, but can't find it now, but I believe it does 
not output top power until around 3,500 - 4,000 rpm.
