    I was curious too so I added alternator current monitoring to my FX-3. For my configuration in flight with strobes and wig/wag landing lights, and after the battery has recovered from cranking, the alternator current is about 11 A and the battery charge current about 4 A.

    Your alternator load will be maybe an amp greater as you have the second COM, remote audio panel, and GNC 355 instead of GPS 175.
