Hi,

So, if you use the alternator switch to shunt out the alternator while you're driving and then turn it on, as it were, while you are coasting, would that let this work with the stock battery? I'm sure it depends on whether you do enough coasting, and you'd have to remember to do it each time...

For those running w/o the alternator even in the car, how do you charge the battery -- plug it in?
