The alternator (or generator) of a vehicle is the unit that converts the mechanical energy from the drive-belt into electricity. Amperage (amps) are the output level of the alternator. Alternator part number, as well as output amps are specific to each vehicle.

Another Answer

Your question is a little like asking, "How long is a length of string?"! The rated output current of an alternator depends on its rated output power rating and its rated terminal voltage. The rated output power can vary tremendously, according to the physical size of the machine.

How many amps does the elecrical system pull on a 2004 jeep grand Cherokee limited?

It all depends upon what is "ON" at the time. A running vehicle with only the ignition system operating uses about 10-15 amps. Turn on the headlights and it will draw an additional 10 amps. With everything on, it can draw from 30-100 amps. Do you mean "what is the alternator rated at?" Your Jeep alternator would be normally rated at about 100 amps output.


What is and where can I purchase a high output alternator?

The different electrical systems in a car take a lot of amps to run. Depending on the engine speed, regular alternators mail fail to put out enough juice causing the engine battery to use up its reserve capacity. A high output alternator has exactly that, a high output of power. Any automotive parts retailer can sell you a high output alternator or you can order one through your mechanic.
