This was brought up on another forum and an idea popped in my head. One guy suggested hooking an alternator cutoff switch to react with the brake light for regenerative charging, but it was also brought out that most of us FE guys avoid the brakes and it would not be sufficient enough to keep a charge.

I thought about this "alternator cutoff" deal right when I popped the hood on my Chevy truck. The hood light came on from the momentum or position of the mercury switch and that's when it all seemed like a feasible idea. Why not implement a mercury switch and if you get it tuned correctly and adjusted properly, it should kick on the alternator current as soon as the vehicle begins to slow or the momentum of the car decelerating does it.

This might work, but I have no plans on ripping out the switch on my truck's hood light and hooking it to the Metro just yet.
