For those who do a lot of wild camping and want to get the best charge from your alternator you may be interested in this product. If you generally use EHU or only free camp occasional then probably not ..

Standard alternators are not designed to be good battery chargers; they are designed only to charge an engine start battery sufficiently to start the engine. Because of this inherent design problem associated with the standard regulator, a more advanced regulator is required which in effect converts the alternators from a constant voltage power supply to the latest 4-step constant current battery charger (see battery charger graphs). Because of this improvement in the alternator control system, these regulators dramatically enhance the alternator's charge rates by between 200-2000%,depending on how poor the original system is.
