Default Adjustable voltage regulator for car alternator

Are you seriously suggesting that a 12 volt alternator is made with a
diode trio that cannot handle 24 volts? I was under the impression that
few silicon rectifiers are made with a breakdown voltage less than 50
volts.


They need to be able to handle *at least* double the intended voltage
delivery. A 24 V alternator will probably actually deliver 28V (just as
today's 12 V alternators are delivering as much as 16V).
