Lots of good info there (small sample below). Ted Stanley Chapter 11 Section 3 Output Rating. The generator or alternator output ratings and limits prescribed by the manufacturer must be checked against the electrical loads that can be imposed on the affected generator or alternator by installed equipment. When electrical load calculations show that the total continuous electrical load can exceed 80 percent output load limits of the generator or alternator, and where special placards or monitoring devices are not installed, the electrical load must be reduced or the generating capacity of the charging system must be increased. (This is strictly a "rule of thumb" method and should not be confused with an electrical load analysis, which is a complete and accurate analysis, which is a complete and accurate of the composite aircraft power sources and all electrical loads) When a storage battery is part of the electrical power system, the battery will be continuously charged in flight.
