[QUOTE="HondaCRV03, post: 8815843, member: 684139"] You're speaking about the ELD (electronic load detector). I don't think it was as bad as it used to be for older Hondas. It would idle at low 13s and you had to do wizardry to make it idle at a higher voltage. I have a CR-V and that hasn't been an issue for me. OP, to see if it is an ELD issue, check your idle voltage. When the engine is warmed up it should be something close to 14v Edit: also adding another alternator is the expensive route for that much power. Adding another battery would do just fine [/QUOTE]
