This car does a lot of short trips. That's why I think I'm getting this almost indecent gain.
With a Pb, every time you park for 10 mins, it's like someone is sucking 2A out of your battery. When you start again, the alt then works hard to replace that 2A (at very low efficiency), only for you to stop again and all that hard work evaporates.
EOC probably has the same effect.
If you drive steady on the highway, you might get different results.
