You may test a wire gauge and it holds, but you yourself would NOT recommend that wire size as the one you use in a real world application. You would go to 8 gauge. You know it. Especially when lives were on the line. This isn't about a few minutes of testing, or the ammeter, its about a balanced system when someone unbalances it by purchasing an alternator too big for the application. I have never represented myself as an expert at anything. I get whatever I have learned here. It's what gripes you to no end. Here is someone who doesn't proclaim to be anyone special (like you). Just someone seeking answers.
Jerry, rather than keep sending more and more wasted text, say the answer if you know it. Is there ever a time when a 100 amp alternator would actually charge at that rate, and if no, what rate is its top? Its okay if you don't know. The only thing that matters is the answer to the question. Then you can go back to your regularly scheduled programming.
