wrote in message news:b2e24c21-5934-4111-ac97-2ef1d4df4aca@googlegroups.com... Looking into high power inverter to run off the car. But for 1000W, it's likely draining 80A or 90A from the alternator. Does that mean the battery will die even when the engine is running? I believe most alternators are around 50A, so max power of 600W? ======================================================= Yes, the battery will still be discharging to make up whatever the alternator can't source, and yes, the alternator won't be happy for too many hours at max output. I don't know if the low end is really down at 50 or 60A , but many cars have alternators rated at 130A or more and I think 80-100A is typical. What kind of car do you want to do this with? Go to an auto parts website like autozone.com or rockauto.com and look up a replacement alternator for it, and they should list the specs. For grins I chose a 2010 Toyota Camry 4 cyl completely at random and autozone says 100A. Make your inverter connection to the output stud on the alternator and you'll save the voltage drop in the wire from alternator to battery. -- Regards, Carl Ijames
