[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6128460, member: 549629"] Simple laws of physics tell us that even with the losses due to conversions and mechanical resistance, there is simply no way any normal sized alternator would put so much strain on a vehicle as to create the situation you describe. Does swapping out for a H.O. alt, or adding a second one, decrease a traditional car's gas mileage by more than a few MPG's? No. My main concern for hybrids would be the impact a large transient drain would create. These voltage irregularities already cause issues with the electrical system in tradition cars, I have to wonder what it would do to a hybrid. But being electrically powered, they also may have a much stronger ability to cope with such electrical drain irregularities. *shrug* Ive never worked on a hybrid in any manner... do they even have alts?
