From: Frying alternator...overload or not

[Hanapi 8]

i doubt you're amps are even putting out even 6,000 watts. even if that.

so i doubt too much power is what did your alternator in

where'd u get these numbers from? (the 10,400 watts and 28,000 watts)

It could have been a bad alternator as well.

This is why I am asking these questions.

I had installed years ago a new Ford OEM alternator and it quit within a month. So it would not surprise me one bit. It happens. No problem. I just want to identify the problem.

Being on a small Island doesn't help in terms of knowledge...

Thanks.
