Just out of curiosity is the alternator in the NS a smart alternator. ie one that switches off supplying voltage when cranking battery reaches back to a threshold?

You guys grumpy today?Originally posted by Goodsy View Post
I was hoping my question would prompt a response for the original poster...
The alternator is no smarter/dumber than most - it makes volts, and other technology separate but connected regulates the volts and limits the charge so your battery doesn't become overcharged. Not a techo response, if you want that read Goodsys post...

Not grumpy. Cracka asked if his alternator was smart or not.
Not how it worked. This to me requires only a yes or no answer.

Soon mechanic shops will need to hire the design enginners to fix the mess they createComment
