OK fine, then explain to me why both my Mercedes and BMW owners manuals refer to the Alternator as 14 V/80 A and 14 V/80 A respectively and the Starter Motor as 12 V/1.7 kW and 12 V/1.1 kW, again, respectively? Alternator produce power, starters draw power, why only kW rating on starters only? What, does the starter produce electricity, that would be great if they did....
