Anybody know what’s the max current draw before having to add an alternator?

Found it! 15A max draw for accessorIt’s on stock setup.

Thats 180 watts.

Thats 180 watts.

Keep in mind that’s the stator output not the actual draw you put on the system.

alternator adds 60 amps or 720 watts

This is what is shown in the factory service manual: Maximum Output 14.0 V - 37.9 A @5 000 r/min (rpm)

I have hit the bottom of the electrical system but I was running a crazy amount of power. Headlights started flickering. Shut a couple accessories off and it was all back to normal pretty quick.

Bumping an old thread , good info. I'm thinking about getting an alternator now that I have the factory heater , and the fan motor of it slows down at idle with reduced voltage.....

Still running all good here. Added more accessories and handles them like a champ. Occasionally I might get a flicker here and there after a few hours of riding. But I just shut something off for 20-30 minutes to allow it to charge back up and I’m good to go.

I got a great deal on an alternator kit but was missing the alternator. Still have to figure that out one day.

I was running 800 watts of audio power (actually a 1200 watt amplifier but you never use it all)
, plus lights, wipers, heater, and never had any issues with the factory stator... I have a new alternator kit setting here that I never installed.
current draw is not constant and as long as the stator keeps the battery charged you will be fine..

So I should have no problem with a rear chase light bar, an S&B particle separator (2.4 amps), a Rugged helmet fresh air unit (3.4 amps), and headlights? I'd like to eventually add more light for the front also

I just got one of these and will be adding it to the dash, as with stereo/lightbar/whips I'm in the negative amperage
running the stock stator.
