[DML] Re: Alternator Questions

["chris_delorean" <88mph@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Partick,

I use the D150 from SpecialTAuto, it works very well.
When motor runs at idle speed, I get 13.8-14 V, with all on (high 
beam, both cooling fans, radio, doors opened) voltage drops only by 1 
Volt, always at idle speed. This drop is nearly insignificant while 
driving.
What was work for your old Ducelier alternator will be holidays for 
the D150.

Best Regards,

Chris.
VIN#04271.
