The only load I ever produce is the headlights and doom lights, I do not even have the factoy 2 watt stereo hooked up.
They had it hooked up and at idle it made 45-50 amps and at liek 3000 rpms it made aroudn 86 amps
When I turned the headlights on i did not look at anything exceot the amps, which dropped about 10 amps, I figured it was normal since the lights were pulling about that much.
BTW they hook to the battery, and since the alternator is connected directly to it they had it right.

Why is your battery being drawn on over night? Has it been going dead over night? Did you have them check the levels in the battery or see if you had a dead cell. My wife's passat loves to eat DieHards till we put a battery blanket around it. It helped keep it cool so it would stop cooking of the fluids.
remeber you can only put distilled water in a battery or you are killing it early with the minerals in it.
