[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8744427, member: 591582"] Yes, going into reverse drops engine RPM's by 100-200 rpm usually, so your voltage is going to drop even more when you put it in reverse or drive. This is a common problem with smaller motors that rev high, like I say. An alt can only spin so fast before it breaks. So if an alt can only spin at X rpm, then X alt RPM on high revving motors is reached at a overall higher RPM. They can't let you spin that alt so fast at idle that it overspins itself if you ever rev up to 6500 RPM. [/QUOTE]
