I missed this question, sorry, but I also don't know the answer. There is a great alternator mod thread on here with some of the best experienced technical folks on it... try posting the idea there?

AN UPDATE: A note: lately I have noticed less than optimal performance from my three month old Odyssey deep cycle battery. The Odyssey people are helping me with charging issues. I'll report back when I learn more, but it seems my 6amp charger and charging technique may have been inadequate and that the situation is entirely reparable. MORE LATER...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
