Removing alternator
Ive just been reading about this guy that did his own tests with firstly just unpluging the alternator, then secondly taking the alt out all together.
He got about 5% unpluging the alt then 10% taking the alt out and running a shorter fan belt for the water pump. Then charging the batt up each day with a battery charger. So, if you used a lithium batt good for 2000 cycles ? and a weight saving of 15kg....
10% better FE and more power at the wheels.....
maybe using a 14 volt battery to avoid things playing up when volts drop...
