This is an excerpt from the catalog link provided By Cycleguy55:
The system only works properly when the “battery charging wire” connects from the junction to the battery. There will never be a wire connected from the alternator directly to the battery.
By now the thought may have occurred, that a possible installation could include a heavy gauge charging wire from the alternator directly to the battery. And then leave in place the original wire from the alternator to the factory main junction. Route the voltage sensing wire to the junction, in effort to keep the lights and ignition happy. It’s true that then voltage regulator would maintain the junction at the 14.2 level. However, the fault in the plan is with the voltage drop that will occur between the alternator and the junction. As was previously discussed, the system will compensate by raising the voltage level at the alternator. The problem would be overcharging the battery through the separate charging wire, as voltage at the back of the alternator could be over 16 volts.
