Yeah, what Frank sez, yer alternator (and mine and Franks) robs more power at higher loads because you don't get something for nothing, power in equals power out, if the alternator is generating more amps, it needs to take more power from the engine to do so. Simple fysiks. To think otherwise would be an HHO proponent.
