Again...depends on battery and engine temp. Lots of variables....not
just rotation speed.

Remember, the PCM controls the voltage output (charging rate) of the
alternator.

the faster it spins, the more amps it puts out. So max would be around
redline. However, it's probably capable of 40-50 amps at cruise
rpm's(~2500) Patrick Delgado
