Best Answer

The amperage of an alternator depends on the size of the car that's on and what all it has to power. A large SUV that is fully loaded (power doors, power locks, power windows, etc) will need a higher amp alternator than a small car without any added electrical options.

It depends upon the accessories for an automobile. 1. car with just headlights, heater, wipers and etc. about 35-45 amps 2. car with AC added 65 amps 3. Newer computerized car with AC and etc 100 amps 4. car with all the above and a amplifier 140 amps (depending on the size of the amp) 5. Take note that a typical school bus with all the heaters and etc normally will be ok with an alternator from 100-150 amps.
