Some years ago, when the 10SI alt was new to the world, I was told by folks in the auto parts biz that that alt always had a slight current draw. Not bad enough to notice when you took your mark of excellence out on the road every day or so. But if you were going to park it for a few months, like a camper over winter, you should unhook the battery to prevent slow drain. Thus, I like the early GM alt with the external regulator which does not have said probie. That is what I put on my 720 JD back in '86 and have not had battery drain problem and it sits idle for months especially in winter. That did require a diode in the wiring, too. Can anyone else confirm this info about current draw all the time on the 10 SI?? My 2 cents
