Alternator upgrade

[rossmilstein]

Over time I have added a larger radio, more speakers, phone charging ports, upgraded fans for the radiator, an amp, a flux capacitor (my version anyway,) etc. with more lighting on the way.
What is the spec on the original alternator, and what is a good suggestion for an "over engineered" effort so I don't drive around in discharge mode and ultimately get stuck when the battery can't keep up.

Any thoughts on how to kill this problem definitively?

Thanks,

Get a multimeter with an ammeter "loop" to see how much current you're drawing. Many cars are drawing ~65 amps with everything on except the starter.

The 80 amp Ducellier that your car has is what mine had. It is garbage. This is a 120 amp unit that has no problem keeping up with any upgraded or added electronics you may put in:
