Does anyone use an ammeter on their car? I'm just wondering what kind of amps a normally running car pulls. __________________ Current project: A better alternator delete

At 2000 RPM with the headlights and heater fan on full it should be pulling 30A or more. __________________ Current project: A better alternator delete
