all of the cars sold in north america has this feature. its concept lies on the principle that if charging is disabled when you need more torque from a smaller more fuel efficient engine. same with climate control, the control module temporarily drops the compressor and the alternator to maximize power to the wheels in a panic mode (like getting out of the way of a speeding train). the alternator pulley has been reengineered too to have an overrunning clutch to reduce accessory belt wear and tear. technological advances paved the way to more fuel efficient, higher power to weight ratio. again, this is the technicians' time.
"mechanics" don't seem to understand this. like my former supervisor in the early eighties who told me to remove the cooling system thermostat because according to him "pampagulo lang yan". people refuse to learn, adapt and accept the fact that we are in the future.

March 16th, 2023 09:56 AM #509AFAIK this is done to do just that: make the charging system smarter.
Modern regulators are computer controlled and take various inputs like the battery type, alternator load, etc. to create a three mode charge similar to what you'd get from a CTEK or NOCO.
The old systems are always overcharging the battery a little bit, so the new cars with battery coding can theoretically make their batteries last longer.
