The battery is not the concern when figuring power. The wattage rating of the stator is what we should be concerned about. It is rated 19 amps at 14 volts, or 260 watts.
Of course, need to subtract the things it already has like headlights, ignition system, etc. Best not to run the stator at 100% capacity. Electrical systems like 80-85% capacity for best performance.
