Nope. it's based on 34 years of electronics experience.

If your alternator cannot supply the current needed the missing current will be drawn from the battery, fact. That's is how it works in ALL cars, internally regulated or not. Denso, Chrysler, Delco, Motorcraft, doesn't matter.

If your setup had no issues then it is simply because your demand never exceeded the charging system's ability to supply it, fact.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
