Default Alternator output

I was thinking about getting some heated gear but I don't know what the alternator out put is. I have a 93 1000F. I was reading up and an article I read said don't bother if your alternator doesn't put out enough Amps to produce 250 Watts.

Maybe I could put a small 12volt cooler in there next summer so I can have
freshly chilled beverages on the go ! or a mini microwave in winter for some
