And if I turn every single electrical item on in my car I can get close to about 45 amps. That's my SPAL, my pusher fans and headlights. I don't count my cigarette lighter or horns. I use an AC Delco 60 Amp Generation 1 alternator with a separate voltage regulator that supports both an ammeter and idiot light. The SPAL and pushers did manage to melt a bad connection about 12 years ago. The inductive load, coupled with the increased resistance of a bad connection, created a tremendous amount of heat.
