how many amps is my altenator? 97 accord SE
and also, how many amps does my eletrical system use from my altenator on average?

well i think your alternator is a 85amp

son of a *****
i'm getting an amp that has a 90 amp current draw. bye bye battery

you can always get a new alternator, and i can hook you up with a deep cycle optima battery

do you know what the current draw from my electrical system in my car, not including my stereo is?
what would be a good amperage for my alternator to keep up with my electrical system and my stereo?
i'm gonna go talk to a guy about getting my altenator rewound tommorow so yeah.
how much for the yellow top?

90 amps max current draw is at full power (aka will probably never happen)..

Since you're having it respun, try to get 150-180 amps.. I cant remember how high our's can be spun to.. I'm currently running a respun Legend alt..

A deep cycle battery isnt a very sustainable way of powering a system.. Once you have a higher output alt, simply add a cap to protect the alt. Thats it.
