I would look for a voltage drop between the key and the #2 terminal on the alternator.. In cases where we wanted a higher voltage to the battery To be higher I would place a resistor to reduce voltage to the #2 terminal on alternator to make it charge at a higher voltage. The no. 1 terminal just turns the alternator. You can actually run a jumper from alternator battery positive to the #2 terminal and the regulator will charge to designed regulator voltage. You could also run it to while side battery on the isolator or the house side of the isolator. Whatever you want if you are happy with voltages. I would source off vehicle battery or straight off the alternator.
