No power from alternator , just started leaving campground

Sorry to bring up an old old topic.  I just hate finding unresolved forum posts myself, and I was looking this up for my own reference and realized I never resolved it.

We replaced the alternator, everything works like before.  The new 50DN puts out 28.4v with a 3000w load without dropping much of anything.

Thank you. Great data point on current. The OEM site lists this spec


Performance Output   24 Volts 270 Amps which is 6,480 watts, so 3,000 seems reasonable as a safe continuous output number.


This is irrelevant for charging LA batteries due to their very limited charge rate but of great interest for those few seeing the light with Lithium storage systems.

Eh... My AGM bank will gladly soak up 80 amps or more if it's around 50% .. and will do so until 80% or so (600 AH @ 24v / 2 = 300 / 80 = 3.75 hours).  I'll take all I can.
