RE: How much electric current?

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

Well if you have a 90A Alternator, then use a 90 amps gauge, then you
will have an accurate reading of what it produces.
I found that a Voltmeter was more tale-tell on what is going on with
your alternator/Battery than just amperage.
but that is just my personal (probably going to get flamed for it)
opinion.

Hi,

I'm going to install an amp meter in my dash.  There are 30, 60, and
90 ampere
models available from VDO.

What is a realistic range?  I'm guessing 30, but I could be mistaken.
I know
the alternator is capable of 90A, but I doubt it's pushing that much
normally.

I have 100 watt high-beams and a modest stereo.
