What is the system voltage when you made the 41a measurement?
I’m just curious out of that 41a how much was actually going to the battery for charging, and how much was going to the vehicle to run other systems.

It is measured at the output of the Alt. At idle in gear at 600rpm my Alt was producing 41 amps and another 2.5 amps was coming out of the battery. Battery post voltage was 12.7v.
As soon as I put it in park and the RPMs went up to 750 my voltage went to 13.6-13.8 at the battery and the alt was pushing around 47 amps and 4.5 of those amps was going back into the battery.
