Denso Alternator Installation

^^Yes it is different.^^. The sense wire needs to "see" battery voltage exactly. Depending on how long and how small the charging wire is, with that setup you will have voltage drop. That is, the alternator stud will "see" the 13.8--14.2 setpoint of the VR, but the battery may be lower due to load/ voltage drop

This is essence is the entire problem with a "one wire" AND IS WHY with a one wire you need to have MUCH larger charging line
