Re: Temperature compensation
The overwhelming reason given by auto manufacturers for alternator voltage control being removed to ECU is temperature compensation. The Cadillac Allente and Olds Toronado CS144 alternators of the 80's and 90's used the 1116412 voltage regulator with remote thermal voltage control via thermistor on the battery. Lots of acid volume reserve coupled with a tropical SG blend in the southwestern states would enhance battery life considerably. My 2-volt cells have 1.260 adjusted electrolyte.
