[QUOTE="knukonceptz, post: 2436274, member: 548221"] Hey Tim, yes you have. Good to put a SN to a "face"....lol Thats a bit far from where we are. Thought you might have been closer. Could have had our tech check it out for you. As you said idle varies by vehicle, but you should not have to turn up idle to get a charge. Either unit is defective or the output curve was not thought out well for that appilcation. To get more output, you will have some low rpm loss, seems you lost a lot of low rpm output For a car, Alt turn-on should be near 1000 Alternator RPM and the Crank is usually a 3:1 ratio so at 350 RPM of the motor, the ALT should be "on" Most cars idle at 600-750rpm.
