No free lunches, only tradeoffs.

Personally, I'm more interested in a virtual alternator delete, with smarts to turn on the alternator when voltage drops below some threshold.
I'd consider excessive to be needing a charge every 1-2 weeks or a new battery each year depending on how much gas I'd save.
