Tried out the 0.3 ohm resistor. It was showing 8.5 amps on battery power only.
It was slower to melt the frost, compared to no resistor.
With the voltage drop after the resistor, with alternator power should be very close to my grid watt/inch target.
Next time I have some time off, some time next week I want to put the grids on the side window and regulate power with a PWM. Should be sometime next week.
The additional parts I ordered from Planned Products LLC (the frost fighter company) should be here any day now.
