Whatever will fit I guess, don't forget the higher the power the more HP is sapped from the car (although that won't bother an ICE lover anyway) :wink:
I've seen a few in the 120A range (online) i'm sure. Diesels are I think 90A or so…
And dont forget to match the battery to it, as I said in the other post anything else is a waste.

Depends how much ice you want, your probably good for about 400w worth anyway, possibly more.
