Alternator load

<< < (3/3)

hobbit:
If you do run a second battery for winching on a split charge system, and its not time critical for winching, you should be ok, if the battery runs down, stop, wait and let it re-charge

At least you wont flatten the vehicle battery, and drop youself into a dead vehicle situation

Tyke:
Lots of good comments guys - cheers.

Think I'll stick standard for now and see how it goes. Maybe I'm just fussing over nothing again.

Lights do get a bit of use at night time but so far no problems.

--- Quote from: "Tyke" ---OK - so mines a '95 TDi
I assume the standard alternator is 65Amps

If it's a '95 300Tdi I think you should find that you already have a 100amp alternator anyway - the next one up from that was 140amp.

65amp were standard on the 200 models.

However, LR being LR none of the above could be true  :P

Tyke:
Good point mate - better check that out just in case.

Will be happy if it is . . . . . save me spending on a new one thats no different.

goblin:
mine is a 95 tdi 300 with serpentine belt but it is a 65 amp :?
