[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1007079, member: 3828"] Wow. If I run these same things on my 1st gen I'll see it dip to 13.5-13.6 during the "both on" time of the heattroller. When I run mine plus my passenger's (same setup) it dips to ~13.2 when the two controller get into sync with each other. I've found that this is still a survivable situation for the battery, but I wonder, dread really, how much damage I'm doing to the (known to be weak) stator windings. My OE alternator is 75k miles old. It probably doesn't owe me anything at this point. Time to start re-looking into a 1st to 2nd gen alternator upgrade. I know that it has been done before and is mostly a matter of coming up with the $. On second thought, maybe it's time to go through the charging system wiring on my 1st gen and see if the same thing isn't happening. [/QUOTE]
