    Alternator Output

    I've read that the stock Honda alternator output is roughly 80 amps. I was wondering, how much free amperage does the alternator clear while driving?

    I ask this is because I'm thinking about getting some Lightforce or KC Hilite driving lights, and they're rated to 100-130 watts per light. That's a good 15-20 amps; I want to make sure that I won't overwork the alternator.

      haha, alright.

      I figure my audio system is pulling at least a constant 200 watt draw, and since its been doing it w/o problem, I figured I'd be OK.

      But the second opinion is just what I wanted to hear.
