âI was quite shocked at the scope of the embezzlement,â he said. The Fall of California Democratic Campaign Treasurer Kinde Durkee Christine Pelisek March 28, 2012. But he was an enabler of the CEO's bad behavior, which I believe is a direct result of the firm's size and scope.
A 120 amp alternator in a typical modern vehicle can safely deliver 70% of that current continuously (84 amps). So say with the fan on medium, lights, ignition, small charging current to a full battery, etc there is a draw of about 45 amps. That leaves say 39 amps (550 Watts) of extra power available.
2- Bad alternator -which doesn't fully charge the battery, or carry the car's amperage load, so the battery does so. 3- Bad Voltage regulator. 4- A Short in your electrical system. You haven't said if you've replaced your battery; if it's six years old, I'd replace it anyway-regardless of what testing shows.
