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.
If the alternator is bad, your car or truck will eventually die out again as the battery is not re-charged. Get a good-quality voltmeter or multimeter and test your batteryâs state of charge. The voltmeter should read around 12.6 volts with the engine off and 14-15 volts when the engine is running. If voltage is below 13.5, thereâs a good chance the alternator is not keeping up with your batteryâs charging needs.
