it is not a resistor it is a diode. How it works is it allows only current to flow in one direction and not reverse. In this application however you are not caring about that. A diode also has a voltage drop across it approx half a volt. You are USING this half volt drop to trick the charging circuit to thinking that your battery is a half volt lower than it actually is and causing a voltage increase of a half volt. Since the alternator is now sending this reduced voltage going through the diode.
Noticed you dont include links to anything in your videos. Most other channels that install mods, list them in links. Hell, cooking channels list their products in the description lol. Come on. Help a neighbor out.
@@jfreakinl4719 Nope "bud", better take another look, above that. Link is there and working, I just used it to make sure. Also, theres now a cool website called Google if you ever need so search for for anything lol
@@HawkeyeSkunkWorks clicked on it "bud" goes to Instagram. Google is a powerful tool, I definitely use it often.

Do you think this would work for a stock alternator to help with a car audio system my problem is my car can NOT take a HO alternator so I'm only able to upgrade as much as my battery can handle i recently purchased a package battery and super cap combo a 74AH lithium lifepo4 chemistry battery and the ioxus ultra cap battery im waiting on them to come in but im trying to figure out how to get the absolute most out of my alternator and stock charging system I've upgraded to all 0 gauge wire and about to do a second run just to make sure but I am wondering if installing a HO alternator and one of these with it would it allow it to charge at the HO rate instead of stock charging rate
Been wanting to run an AGM in my SC430 with the 4.3 V8 - 3UZ-FE engine There is a 130amp alternator in this car and the electronics tend to have a drain on them even as it’s parked, because of the security system, etc. just on this car it happens to be more of a dream that I’ve experienced in the past with other cars, and other people with the same car have the same issue. Some people keep the car hooked up to a trickle charger if they drive it less than once a week. I would like to try one of these, but naturally I’m a little hesitant I don’t want anything to get busted. Do they make any that are compatible with my car? I’m willing to bet the charging circuit set up is similar to mine just that I have a bit of a smaller alternator, which I am coincidentally changing out anyway and there’s a chance I may go with a 240 amp alternator from Mechman which is a quality aftermarket supplier.

Fridge gang! Can’t wait to pick one up for my family hauler!
It's a diode. It only allows current to flow in one direction.
The rectifier bridge on the alternator already has a diode in it
I’ve run AGM batteries for some time now. Zero issues and I don’t run this voltage booster thing. *shrug*
I have too, going way back to my 1997 RAM 5.9L 4x4, then in my 2007 FJ no problems at all
I feel like you've had the gx long enough now....gx OR 4th gen?
4.0 4th gen.
@@HawkeyeSkunkWorks I'll keep rocking mine then. I appreciate the honesty...you'd get tarred and feathered for having that opinion in the forums.
@@stevenkmorrison Probably from people who never owned both.
This works with Corolla 2021?
Someone help me please
So this device with a sequoia 150A alternator would be a good idea?
I would if you have an AGM battery. If they don’t have one listed for the Sequoia I’d contact them, I bet they have one this will work for it.
@@HawkeyeSkunkWorks some GX470 owners upgraded there alternators with the one from the Sequoia
@@noelatilano2557 Ill have to look into that

The link is in the description as I stated in the video.

Not sure, but its aimed more at the battery than the alternator.
How is it performing in the long term? What is your outro music soundtrack name?
still works great. sorry can remember the track
It's a diode it increases volts
Couldn't you just use a resistors lol
If you were an electrical engineer I suppose....
Do they make one for Siennas?
i dont know
$85 for $15 dollars in labor and parts... rip off!!! Also how many times can you say ummmmm in a video? LOL
For real lol not to mention this device is 1000% not needed and some cash grab fluke bs.
