Lawrence, how did you measure that 16.5 volts? Is that the charger's open
circuit voltage, or is that the peak voltage you measure at the battery
terminals when it's on charge?

I do this all the time. Buy open fram surplus DC power supplies rated
at 15.0 volts and drop it with one diode to 14.2 volts constant
voltage or two diodes to 13.6 volts.

A simple resistor won't limit the output voltage when the current tapers
off. (When the load resistance becomes larger.) It will still go to 16+
volts and ruin your battery.
A simple solution might be to place two, perhaps three, large diodes
(rectifiers) in series with the output.

Years ago the process for bringing in a "Gray Market" car was fairly simple,

If the car is over 25 years old, you can still do it with just a big pile of

Nope. Mountain mode is an actual setting that changes how the generator
function. It always tries to keep the battery at least 20% full so that you
have some battery reserve when climbing hills.
"Camping mode" is a nickname for tricking the car into staying on continuously.
