    An alt puts about 95% at best before decreasing its charging to almost zero even though it shows 14.2 to 14.4, there is a add on unit which tricks them to do the full monty, may have seen the units on ebay some time back, proper smart chargers and solar with a MPPT reg is the way to go, wildbus...

    12volt Compressor
