[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 7351752, member: 576010"] I believe what the voltage booster does is trick your alternator's voltage regulator into thinking the voltage is lower then it really is.. as a result the regulator puts out more voltage.. It will work and you will get both more voltage and a greater average current out of your alternator.. the down side is the alternator will be working harder and is more likely to fail.. Also, you don't have to spend $106... you can do the same thing with a diode and perhaps a resistor or two and a little wiring job which will maybe cost you $5.. there are instructions somewhere on the internet...
