Be careful as this can blow the computer in some cars... each time you turn it off then on that way there is an electrical punch to that circuit which is like flexing a metal wire back and forth... eventually, SNAP!
As a famous canine once said, "Rutt Row, Raggy!"
As for the belt removal... yes, some can remove, but others may not realize that by trying to do so they can damage their car.
As for the increased number of batteries to replace the alternator... doesn't the added weight kinda defeat the purpose? Just my ignorance falling out one side of my head there... but I'd really like to hear the thoughts on this.
