Daox had the idea to: use a "smallish" ~15 V lithium pack and connect it to the starter battery (either directly or using the cars 12v plug). While maintaining enough voltage, the pack should be able to keep system voltage above that "set by the alternator, thus disabling it." Link below:

I forget where I remember reading this, but I believe reading that Hondas 5th -or 6th?- VX or HX charging setup operated similarly, but without the extra battery supplement. It's alternator would charge the system when voltage dips below a low threshold and switch off after reaching a high threshold. I don't know how correctly I'm vaguely describing this, but I intend to learn of this systems mechanics and efficacy. If I can have/do this for my application, then this instead. |
If I remember correctly, even before the VX, Honda would reduce field strength to the alternator, allowing only 12-VDC while under low manifold pressure; as this condition would signify an acceleration, passing, or hill climbing event, where access to all available power was desirable ( without dimming the headlights, etc.).
