Does any one know how much amps the 136 and 160 alternators are rated for at idle?

If the alternator is rated as 136 amps, thats the max amps it will provide when you vechicle is at a specific RPM. My problem is that I need to find out if the liberty is putting out the full 136 at idle or not.

If you'd like I could throw a shunt on mine in the next week or so and grab a few measurements for you. If anyone has an EMF ammeter that would be much easier to check with.
Mine is a 160A since I have a renegade but they should be proportional to eachother.

Thanks, i am trying to determine if i need to upgrade to the 160. My batteries (two yellow tops) dont seem to get fully charged since i added my second amp. I am hoping that all i need is to upgrade the alternator.
