It has a LOT more amps than we will use with heated clothing AND a LOT of lights. I do not remember the exact figure, but me and my service manager added it all up and after all of my heated clothing, extra lights etc, I was only using less than half of the output for my 2007 FLHR.
Ride and enjoy.

50A × 14.5V = 725 Watts (0.97 HP), but some of that needs to be used "in house".

Is the 14.5 v a constant? I wrongly assumed 12 v due to 12 v battery.

I don't know what the voltage output would be at idle, I merely used the midpoint of the specification given. I'd think it's at least 14 volts at idle.
