I've got twin odyssey batteries as house batteries and a standard lead acid starter battery.
120 watt solar panel and split charger keeps things topped up fairly well with standard 200tdi defender alternator.
However with the fridge ruining a bit harder, laptop charger (12 volt charger but consuming 11 amps) on and drinking water pump going, the house batteries are struggling to keep up after a few days without much driving.
Therefore I'm looking to uprate the alternator (and cabling probably).
I've had a browser around online, but haven't got an answer yet.....
Is there an alternator, ideally 100 amp though 65 be better than the existing, that will simply bolt on in place of existing for a Defender 200tdi?
I've seen may be necessary to chop mounting lugs off some?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
