[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6681101, member: 619324"] In a parallel circuit it shouldn't matter where you connect the power wire. Connect it directly to the alternator. You won't have any problem. If you were to do this and dc clamp the wire/s between your battery and alternator, you'd see that the only current passing between the battery and alternator are the few amps the battery is drawing to charge. Here is a noob question for you. How does current flow? Does it flow between two sources if the voltage is identical? Is it possible to hook a +12v positive with a +5v ground? If so, what would be the effective system voltage? [/QUOTE]
