Gee, I could have sworn I tested alternators on cop cars to 105 Amps.
Place a big paint can looking device ( resistive load ) on the alternator and then the other lead goes to ground. Ampmeter readings I got were off a FLuke with 5 digit readout and the alternator would deliver 100 Amp... all day long.
Can got good and hot, but it was a continious draw.
And, my lights draw around 15 Amps with everything on. The radio, and instruments cost me about 12 Amps. The kicker is the 16" fan with two speeds... 27 Amps with full speed.
I am not sure about your car, but mine runs when the battery is disconnected. That means the alternator is supplying all the electricity.
Now, if I could spell, I'd really be in good condition.
What five years are you refering to?
Just my added
