GEAR: John's Prop Shaft Alternator review

http://www.hamiltonferris.com/2.html#Alternators
POWERMAX High Output Alternators charge batteries up to 5 TIMES FASTER
than standard alternators. This means drastically reduced engine
running time, saving fuel, engine wear, and noise. A standard
"automobile-type alternator is designed only to replace the minimal
engine-starting draw.

When you use an alternator what about the power it uses to energize
the "fields"? How many amps is that?

BTW thank for the effort.
