Alternators, how much power can you get
« on: September 26, 2016, 08:49:49 AM »
I'm looking at pumping up the capacity of my alternator in my SE XR2... I'm putting in a dual battery system... yes, I have lots of electrical accessories going in...

Firstly there is the flip out LCD screen headunit, a miracast wifi unit with usb charger, gps tracker alarm, pumping amp sounds... and heated seats... running off the dual battery.

Question is, what other alternator options are out there for the Capri ?

And what type of replacement alternator do you use, and how much amperage does it run at ?

Awesome, 85amp on the older 90 model Capri (the one with the fan on the alternator)

I noticed some US high power alternators on ebay rewound up to 130amps !!!

That would go nicely with an Optima 750+ cc amp battery.
