I intend to measure idle consumption with my UG before and after the virtual alt delete, but I'm wondering if it will be accurate enough. Does the increased voltage affect the accuracy of the gauge to estimate fuel use? There was talk about injector pulse widths perhaps being shorter due to higher fuel pressure.
I'll also make note of what voltage the alternator kicks on, and estimate the usable battery capacity of the Li-po based on this. From this I should be able to estimate how many minutes of normal driving I can expect before the alt kicks on. Finally, I'll take more accurate measurements of various accessory power consumption and update my spreadsheet.
I suppose if I'm going to run the battery into my glovebox or near the footwell, I better wire in a safety fuse close to the battery pack.
