Alternator relaxer - continued
Ok, so I have to split it up a bit so I can eventually ad a circuit diagram.
The circuit is a sort of automated system where you don't have to charge the battery off electricity if you choose not to, as it uses a sort of regenerative breaking/charging, which you can configure as you like.
My regenerative breaking works only when I press the break pedal, or when the break lights comes on. It can take multiple inputs so you can configure it to charge battery when you feel the alternator must help slow down the engine. With switch at petrol pedal, toggle switch inside car, or whatever you like.
It can also easily be changed to work with deep cycle batteries, or normal lead-acid like mine. Set the minimum battery discharge voltage to your requirements. So if you have a deep cycle battery, set the minimum discharge voltage to the minimum that will will not affect the life of your battery. Or have a low minimum voltage and recharge at night.
