is there any benifit to be had from P&G'ing the alternator? seems to me that when you switch it back on it will take the same energy charging as if you had left it on all along?

the only benifit of the alternator cut out switch is if you install a deep cycle battery and run the ignition off that right and charge at home? thats when you get the +10% FE right?
