Hello,
I found the following discussion interesting but possibly misleading... From the HowStuffWorks website....
My question is in regards to the calculations, which are based on the notion of "extra" energy demand from the alternator. I'm not an expert in auto electrical systems, but I thought a typical alternator normally generated power in excess of what the system demands? Am I incorrect in this thinking? If not, then the author(s) of the discussion has made quite a misleading argument.
Interested to find out what the truth is on this subject.
Cheers
