I dont think I got ripped off with the alternator, its keeping up with my demand thus far, its not going to put out the full 200A unless its called for. My highest demand so far has been 125A which I was able measure the alt at that time and its putting out what is called for. I have done the big 3 and have a high capacity AGM battery that's only a year old.
