Assuming one that is in correct working order
Free running with no load: 70 amps/5.5 volts/4000 RPM.
Cranking engine: 150-160 amps/5 volts/150 RPM
Stalled torque test: 450 amps/3-4 volts/12 foot pounds torque.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
