Make sure you do some Googling to make sure your alternator can handle this. I had an alternator burn up on my '90 Accord after struggling to charge a nearly dead battery. I've since read that the alternators on these tended to overheat if asked to put out full power for extended periods of time. In my case, next time I need to replace the alternator, I'll go with a more powerful alt that can handle the load.
