solar trickle charger and alternator - Toyota Yaris Forums

Since the alternator is on a fixed pulley, it's always spinning and always causing some parasitic power loss on the system.

Is that what you mean by load sensitive?

kinda...I mean..does the alternator check for the voltage in the battery and adjust its amount of spinning when it knows how much recharge it needs to do?
