i have everything installed (for the most part) and the voltage controlled relay module is working about 93% perfectly.
i've noticed when i have the a/c on, wipers, headlights, etc. while idling, sometimes the relay wants to kick off like it's hitting the turn off voltage.
I have noticed that this alternator seems to have a "low" point at idle with lots of stuff on where i can hear the a/c blower motor slow down a few rpms.
I'm thinking it's just gonna take a few more adjustments to the turn off voltage pot on the board, so it's not a huge deal... just gotta wait till the evening when it's not so darn hot where I can adjust things.
Once I have everything ironed out, I'm definitely gonna but a kit together 'cause I know this is gonna be a handy mod for guys & gals who want to run 2 batteries but keep them isolated when not running.
Still waiting on a spare center console section where i can mount some voltmeters to keep tabs on both batteries.
One other odd thing i noticed is the pioneer double din radio wants to power up the amp turn on wire whenever the screen is on. Not sure exactly why it doesn't work like every other amp turn on wire & just turn on the amp when the head unit is actually in use, but i guess this is a "feature" of this pioneer.
