The other thread finally pushed me to forgo sleep in exchange for monkeying with a car I hardly drive.

I've got my Y harness wired from the battery under the hood, through the firewall, and into my glove box. The resting voltage of my Pb battery was 12.2v, and the alternator seemed to want to keep it at 14.1v. Adding in the LiPo battery only increased voltage about 0.1v, but then I haven't charged it yet.

I'll see if idle fuel consumption drops when running the LiPo... and I need to wire in a fuse in there somewhere.
