I just tested mine tonight and unplugged the 2 pin harness. It did read 13.6 volts, however, when I turned on the front and rear ac and headlights the voltage dropped to 12.4. So based on the articled you referenced Nick I ordered a PWM generator. I'm going to set it to run the alt at about 14.4 volts and I'll just hide the controller under the dash somewhere.

Also the generator I ordered was from TKXEC and the model was XY-APWM. What's nice about this one is that you can use a 12v source but set the PWM output to the 5v the alternator needs.

Anyway, thanks for the help Nick, that was definitely the info I needed.
