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.
Gordon B has it dead on. Each cell in the battery when fully charged produces 2.1 Volts. Multiply that by six, and a fully charged battery produces 12.6 volts. When the alternator is charging, depending on the state of charge for the battery, at approximately 1500 RPM, the voltage should be 14.5 to 14.9 Volts.hen the battery is fully charged and the engine is OFF, the nominal voltage across the battery is approx 12.6 volts. With the engine running (above 1000 RPM) it should be 14 - 14.6 volts.
