too many amps, need better alt?
Going to add electric fans which when running will draw 24 amps ( 2x12 ). Calculating my total amp draw across the entire system I find that if everything is actuating all at once my total draw would be 121 amps.
My alt is currently a CS-130 at 105AMP. So, it's pretty close at the moment to being about the right size for my system without the fans ( amp draw without fans is currently 97 if all electrics came on at once! ). What'dya think, should I upgrade the alternator as well when I add the fans? Here's the amp calculations just for grins: dizzy 8 Electric cooling Fans 24 total ( 12x2 ) Headlights 15 tail led lights 2 gauges 5 Radio/Stereo 8 Atomic EFI unit w/pump 30 max: normal: 14-18 -- I calc'ed 18 MSD 6a box 6 max electric windows 10? electric door locks 4 electirc seats 10? A/C blower fan 7 on high A/C clutch 4 121 total if all is running at same time 97 without the fans added Thanks, -klb
