c'mon bob....i dont drive around all day with my battery disconnected. i have a feeling you know i was outlining the point the 28 amps at max...or 14-18 amps in normal mode were probably not taxing the battery.
my lack of technical ability
right.
i am aware of the voltage spikes, wild ac and all that fun shit....and do have modded alternators to weld with....with my gas engine it was electronically throttle controlled to produce the necessary voltage to run my powertools (brushed of course) and weld. sometimes i weld with the batteries too...just plain ol batteries...all done at home by my inept tiny minded self.
when the batteries are disconected for welding reasons alternator puts out between 13 and 18 volts in normal mode.. when switched to weld i crank it up to 100 plus when i need to use the grinders/drills/sawzall... when welding i control output with a gm type rheostat for interior lights from a jeep. but i only do this because of lack of technical ability.
i dont have a throttle control on the diesel yet, but i plan to overdrive the air compressor and secondary alternator for welding that used to be on my gasser. real estate is at a premium.
but i will get it going as i will need this option again soon..
i am wondering if your ever going to have the spine to realize you may not be applying your knowledge to its fullest capacity and have made mistakes in your attempt to debunk this issue because you can not get around your preconcieved notions....i myself am guilty of proceding with my mind and being a bit stubborn. on this very subject years ago i was exactly like you. but i had to figure out a way to deal with the issues at hand and have come to this point.
i am not full of shit and can prove everything i have and do.
i am trying to not disrespect you because i do recognize you have superior intellect on many many issues...far surpassing me. i have no shame admitting that at all. and that further puts me out ... how you can be wrong and move right past it...and i think you know it too.
your intellectual dishonesty with this is quite surprising
