   * **theory** tells us that I=V/R.  This means that current will be the ([alternator voltage] - [resting voltage of the battery] / total resistance in the circuit.   We almost always know the voltage part but few know the resistance of their charging circuit.  After an observation we can back into that value.    * **theory** tells us that I=V/R.  This means that current will be the ([alternator voltage] - [resting voltage of the battery] / total resistance in the circuit.   We almost always know the voltage part but few know the resistance of their charging circuit.  After an observation we can back into that value.
