I'm putting a Lucas 3 phase alternator (180W?) on a friends 750cc Commando with a Podtronics rectifier.
Will the alternator put out 15A maximum at 12V?
Or is the Amperage lower because the alternator is putting out over 14V to charge the battery?
The Podtronics is rated for 200W & 20A maximum.
With all this extra Watts / Amps do you need to increase the Ah size of the battery?
What Ah size battery would you use for the above arrangement?
The overall electrical load of the bike hasn't gone up, just the higher charging rate.
