He didn't even consider that other people could think differently.
That doesn't explain why every single family I know

Has any one experience with Curtis fault code diagnosis?

And yet, somehow Volkswagen sold over 21 million Beetles. They sold enough

The 120 amps the system can generate is of concern. I did get 7 or so years out
of the original OEM battery. Maybe a hybrid system of two smaller batteries.
One lithium and one lead. In parallel. Maybe they would allow the best
qualities of each to shine. I have some small 16ah batteries that
It's not just the inductance of the wiring and the 3 phase windings on the
alternator though. Mechanism is like a DC-DC with a very slow feedback
loop. This is the rotor inductance causing the problem, during the high load
current time the control current in the rotor is increased to maximum by

Some of the appeal of an SUV is the form and impression. I suspect that
some people buy an SUV strictly because of that, but probably a good
minority.
I've thought about this a number of times, since the topic is brought up
on various forums under various pretexts. And the conclusion always

I agree with -Phil-. I think lithium is the wrong choice for the 12v
battery. It's expensive, offers no advantages, and "cures" a problem
that doesn't exist.

An alternator is very different to a Dc-Dc converter in this respect. Modern
high frequency DC-DC conv. Have very small inductors storing very little
energy. An Alternator has a HUGE inductor storing a lot of energy, and this
is not on the output but in the control side! So has much more effect!
I think that's normal, there has to be some electronics one for remote to work?
My hybrids did this too, in fact, even my old 1994 estima does this, no remotes.
