A cheap and easy way to eliminate or reduce your alternator drag on FE?
How about a circuit that only energizes the alternator during deceleration mode when you are throwing away kinetic energy anyway?
The only real problem I can think of with such a system is when you are on a long highway trip in which you do not decelerate much.. In that case you could have a switch to put the alternator into full time mode.
