Default Cigarette Ligher Power Inverter with 4 Cylender car

Most alternators output in a high range , your car type has little to do
with it. Yes many especialy trucks have bigger alternators. It really
depends on what you power , how much power you pull and make, because
you can dramatcly shorten the alternators life from the load . Its total
load you must figure, your alternator is running hard when AC and lights
are on, added high load is not usualy in its design and can over tax the
alternator. Learn about amp draw of everything used now on the car and
extra needed, and alternator output and be conservative. Run anything at
its limit and life expectancy is dramaticly shortened. Even charging
dead batteries is not recommended for most vehicles, battery chargers
are. Even high power stereos will kill an alternator.
