I have seen people complaining that these cheap ones are not accurate, and I need to know it will be accurate and durable.

I will run the battery low, and I will need to know when to switch the alt back on. But I don't doubt yours may be great... can I have it?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
