So i have a 400 amp alternator from mechman alternator in a 1994 g20 van 14.8 is where it's resting at charging, adding a 1 diode, should put it at 15.8, and im on full lithium do i have to undo the battery before installing the diode?

What about PCM controlled? Would this work? I have a 2012 Kia sorento and I have to have an accessory on to get the 14.6. Anything else it’s 12.9 and I need that 14.8 for my lithium bank. If not I’ll have to spend another $300 for a external voltage controller

I'm a mechanic so thought what you were doing with adding in different resistors was really smart. I could see a voltage knob in the car and crank it up at will. 😁

So because the diodes go on the “Sense” wire, the natural voltage drop across the diode makes the Voltage Controller in the Alternator think it’s putting out less voltage so it raises the output voltage by the amount the diodes drop it to compensate.

it doesn’t work like that, you would need to change battery config, for instance, building a panasonic cmax/insight bank in a 12s3p config would give you a 15ah 44.4v lithium bank that should work for your ebike. but it would be a big and bulky bank as you would need a bms for balancing, overcharging and undercharging protection and most importantly, compression for the cells as charging can cause them to swell.

Then run two 0 gauge grounds from cmax ground to alternator case mounting bolt with front battery negative cable. Also run ground cable from cmax to frame. My front battery is still under hood for looks and boosting if I drain cmax. I may put supercap if it takes 15.8v

I can actually find one that would go smaller than that but I'll wait til it goes out. Surely someone knows what size you might need. I just got an assortment of them and went with it.
