The alternator will not supply any more current than the battery needs, so ignore those low-amperage suggestions. Even a 12 volt generator had a capacity of 35 to 50 amps, depending on the model and application. I can't imagine any reason you would need an alternator with less capacity than the generator it's replacing! Jerry
