add up your amps usage... and remember that the alt is not putting out 70A at idle...
my 60A XF falcon alt is 24/60, 24A at idle.
each fan ~ 5A = 15A,
elec fuel pump? 5A
headlights? sayy 10A
windscreen wipers? 5A?
(worst current draw is at idle, at night, in the rain)
brake lights? 3-5A
coil? 5A
so about 40-45 so far....
in the rain at idle, you will prolly still be pulling a fw amps from the battery, but at cruising revs, there should be plenty left over....
amp draw of stereo?
oh, can you check the alt to see what the first number is (ie 24/60) curious to see....
Cya, Stewart
