Agreed. I upgrade them on all my vehicles that came with a sub 100A from the factory. 560 has many added bits that can really tax the charging system. Power rear seats, four sets of heated seats, etc.

It is nice to have the vehicle be able to stay charging at idle with the rear defroster and HVAC on high speed.
