the alternator takes a charge from the engine, and so because it is running off of the engine to charge the battery this is increasing the load effectively on the engine which is not driving the wheels.

therefore the alternator and electical devices on a vehicle will drain power!!!

its one of the main reason fuel economy is reduced with lights on/AC etc...

Thank you!!!!
