Default RE: Ignition loads current verses input voltage


ORIGINAL: jedijody

The coil will only discharge enough power to hit ground, the higher the resistance the more power used up to its full capacity. Higher input voltage will provide a higher available secondary voltage but it will not be used if the resistance is low, excess is disipated as heat and not good for the ignition over time.
Thanks Jody. Your absolutely correct the coil itself limits the output voltage.

I think this topic has been pretty well beaten to death.
