Thanks MetroMPG, I think I'll go to an auto electrical shop and see if I can set it up with two regulators--one that's the default regulator and is set to charge to slightly less than full charge, and one that switches on with braking and is set to charge full charge. And bartender, I'll have one of what the man in blue is drinking! :-)

[EDIT--Oops, I was still on Page 5. Nerys, my whimseyed response was to...
>I had assumed when people say that they mean 29% of the atomic energy in
>the structure of gasoline IE half of what comes out of a matter antimatter reaction
...which seemed an unusual enough assumption to be worth a smiley.

But with the info on Page 6, and the fact that my Kubota only needs as much power to run as does a flashlight (it has a fuel valve solenoid to kill the engine if the electrical system fails), if I use LED turn signals and run with my headlights off, maybe all I need is a solar panel.]
