No. tsk That's insane. laugh2

But I'm only half joking. They make people paranoid about the wrong things.

Nacho's parallel can be found by following the link I posted above. {to here: http://www.heritech.org/cuda/Charge2.html#Solutions, then here: Charging wiring upgrade at Dodgecharger forum
End result is something like RR described - a variation on the option Chrysler sometimes implemented.

End result looks something like this.

The decision of whether it will be helpful depends on the car and specific situation. If done well it doesn't hurt anything. But unfortunately I've been reading about too many 'bypasses' done wrong or badly and the result of each one is unfortunate.

Just last week a 'how to bypass' thread on IFSJA forum was revived by a well meaning person . It had pretty pictures, and put the entire electric load through the charging circuit - except for battery recharging. eek down

Mainly the batt/alt/reg need to be in good shape/working correct & all terminals/connections cleaned/checked for minimal resistance (including ground paths) for a good charging voltage. & any load you can relay directly to the alt is to me a good plan: headlights/heater/AC/stereos.
