Very good first post Luno. Our community would very much like to see A-B-A testing results of alternator off, on, and then off again to compare fuel consumption to get a good idea of actual % improvement in economy.

One thing I like about your system is that the battery can be charged in temperatures below freezing, which LiFePO4 cannot. I'll have to consider replicating a similar setup someday.
