Like Danny said, that's probably close, but of
course it will only do that when it's *actually* supplying 65 amps. IOW,
if you're running down the road with no lights, wipers, A/C, monster amplifiers,
etc. you won't be using that much current.

Subject: Math wiz's calculating hp.
For all you math people. See if i did this right.
I'm converting power to hp. now i know P=I*V. Let me tell you what i'm doing
first. I wanna see how much hp the altenator is dragging while it's charging.
Now i know I=65a and V=~14v(it charges around there) Which is then multipled
to get 910Watts=P. Now 1hp=746watts. now when i divide that. i get 1.22Hp. so
my 65amp altenator is sucking up about 1.21Hp. To me that seems
about right.
