What size Inverter is it your running and why? 80A@12V is 960W..a very odd size of Inverter indeed..most are 120W, 240W, 300W, 500W 800W 100W etc..
Then they have peak loads, momentary loads that can exceed the rated output for a few seconds at most, and this is usually 18% to 30% of the rated loading..

Mick Leek said:As a guide, most astras are fitted with a 90amp alternator unless its a top model with all the bits like lecky heated seats in which case it will be a 120
