Thanks for your review on the TYC : similar to purchaser reviews
I'm going to go ahead & install today.
"The test results you got with the unit were done with a simulated load at various alternator speed. In real life, alternator speed is usually somewhere around three (3) times the engine speed."
Good point that Alt.RPM is distinct from engine RPM ("pulley ratio" says 2.23). Test labels it "Alternator RPM".
This means that test result @ 5,000 RPM of 111 Amps, actually is meaningful, since that converts to 2,200 RPM, a typical speed. Sounds pretty good.
(it didn't state what RPM the 13.2 V where taken at)
"battery temperature sensor"
Sensor's been removed - just some wires tucked under Battery. (prev. operator took it out - said it'd been a problem). It's mild to hot climate, rarely drops below 40, so assuming this won't cause issues ?
(Alternator's never been changed from what I can tell)
