Hi all,
I have been toying with the idea of installing a HHo generator for a while now, but am concerned with overloading my alternator. I understand the cruiser alternators come in 2 sizes of rated output (i cant remember the output values though - have to have another squiz at the book). The problem is the literature I have doesn't tell me how to tell the difference.
In the evening when I can I run my spotties - all up lights on the front is close to 400 watts plus the stock headlights. There is occasions when I also run the work lights on the back, (another 200 watts) but not all that often at the same time as the spotties. I dont want to have use some fancy isolating / switching mechanism for auto disconnect of the hho supply when lights are on, so I would like to size the HHO unit to draw the most i can (with appropriate safety buffer) so as to not cook my alternator.
Does anyone have any experience with 2001 model landcrusier alternators?
On reflection I guess the higher rated output alternator would be for the sahara with duel everything, but I am just not too sure.
Thanks everyone, I look forward to your response.
