I'd say so. What's it pushing amp wise? over 100 or so?


I don't know much about the alternator. A junkyard guy said it was
a nice one and charged me $20 for it. I got it for something else
and never used it. Then I had the idea of using it on a pressure
washer someone gave me when the pump went bad.
I use the little UPS battery, just to tickle the alternator to get
it going. I imagine a big capacitor would work for that too.
It was a common trick on old Triumph choppers to get rid of the
battery and lower the seat.


You're a very resourceful and intelligent individual!
