Default Re: adding an alternator to a clone

Generators like stock carts use are not good at making power at lower rpm, that is why they stopped using them on cars long ago. An alt is much better at that, it will do better than a gen. Though if you run the cart at higher rpm enough to keep the battery up a stock gen works ok (and don't use way more power than it makes).
