On my CRX,Honda configured the electrical for the field such that at low manifold vacuum( accelerating/climbing,passing) the alternator would drop to 12-V output until the load was reduced,such that at cruise or deceleration,the battery would be topped-off.
A small measure to help out a pretty low-power engine.
