@marshg246 the Tri-Spark MOSFET is no "easier on the stator" than the PODtronics or the 50 bucks Tympanium in the last post, how can it be?
"Provide more charging current" not sure what you mean by this?
Let's not get sucked in to the marketing hype this time.
The one thing it has in it's favor (and the reason I have one) is that compared to the SCR-based reg/recs the new Tri-Spark does produce a very clean output.
MOSFET switches cleaner and faster versus the relatively slow, jerky and spiky behavior of SCR - I am also told the Tri-Spark has smoothing capacitors to help with this too.
Based on their recent experience with PODtronics, I would also suggest the Tri-Spark output is choked/filtered, which is a nice thing to have (although I am assuming this)
It's a great unit, and I am pleased I got one, but let's be clear about what it brings to the party.
