Here are MetroMPG's results and discussion:
Plug-in Blackfly: going alternator optional nets +10% mpg - MetroMPG.com. My own "non-scientific" results seem to be at about a 5% FE difference when I run the alt plugged in, versus running without it. My ECU is fine after months unplugging the alt. My deep-cycle battery is fine too. I've been away at Yosemite for Christmas, and can return to this... thanks for input all.
