150 amp is that whats recomended.
Cold start in winter, glow plugs draws nearly 60 amp
Supplementary air heater draws 70 amp
Heated rear window 25 amps
Heated Windscreen 65 amps
Heater blower 20 amps (Full speed)
Electric power steering pump 50+ amps.
Headlights plus sidelights 15 to 20 amps.
I know my Mondeo alternator delivers over 200 amps wheneverything is on including the heated seats at 5 amps each and still manages tokeep the voltage above 14V.
I'll be testing my Kuga when I get it to check it can cope in worse state conditions
