RST one is a 70 amp unit. Can make larger alternators from other models work but you better make sure the wire is up to it

ive just changed the wire from the alt to starter and on to the battery , ive also changed all the earthing straps , and got a bigger battery now, voltage is sitting nicely at 13.9 volts with it on 2 rds volume [ pulling 120 amps ]

see the thickness of the purple wire on the right ? that now runs from the alt to the starter to the battery



battery
