HI Stew,
congrats on the T-16 by the way. Were T16's factory 12v? If they were not then I would change for a 12v alternator. With slow parades and idling a working generator will allow the discharge of a battery. Generators start charging aprox. 1200 rpm ,and a fraction at that rpm,and it increases the higher the rpm. I have seen and tested this on generator /alternator testors. An alternator can charge at as little as 800rpm and can reach max output at 1000rpm. A generator may still not supply enough juice to keep a battery from running down, at low rpm , if there is still significant elctrical drain. Just put a little fist sized 35amp alternator , no reason to get too big. My 2 cents Sean
