I know a few things but not all I need to come to a final conclusion. I know the system provides 585W at 2000RPM and 650W Max. I don't know what the typical draw on the system is though. At some point you're going to overload the charging system and starve the battery. Guess I could get out the current probe and measure it but was hoping someone might have the answer handy.

Hey, at least no one asked me if I drive a train!
