[mralternator]

To say alternator conversions are only good for the economy is a very unfair personal observation, with an alternator you are removing the inability of the generator and incorporating a unit that can easily out perform the generator in every aspect. it will simplify a system rather than have to continually adjust it as alone you have stated that you run with the lights on to take away the extra charge you have the generator set for. if a person wants to simplify his system and remove the restrictions of the generator than why not let them , YES a Generator is the original design , understandably so, but with todays usage of the vehicle an alternator can be and is a very good alternative , with the only minus factor of appearance. and with a regulator attached to the generator , is this not a modification? yes and then you still have the limitations of the generator, when an alternator is also a modification and it eliminates the inability of the generator and simplifies the system, while increasing the amperage availability .
