Hi Everyone,
Could somebody help me giving a short explanation about the fact that with a smaller alternator the fuel consumption will improve?
The smaller (50A) the alternator, the easier to rotate its axle??
On the other hand how can I estimate the 'electric need' whether this kind of small alternator will be sufficient in case of my car?
My car is an old diesel Volvo 244 without any optional electric equipment (no AC, no power windows, no speed of light...
).
Many thanks for any kind of answers!!!!
The best consumption,
Donat
