That being said, there is a decent hill right before I turn into the industrial park at work. Of course the turn is right at the bottom of the hill, so it's often that I DFCO down it. Today I flicked the alternator on during the decent. Wow, I actually noticed the braking power. I was surprised that it was that noticeable. As we have mentioned, it is probably only providing about 1hp of braking power. I am not doubting that, but the fact that it's so easy to feel.

I'm imagining the braking power will likely be larger the lower your battery voltage is? A larger delta between alternator voltage and battery voltage?
