Good info.


The car possibly dies because most of the ECU's I've seen will fail to operate once a set voltage drops to that level. 10V's is totally unacceptable.....


Next question is ---- where is the power take off for your ECU?? Most aftermarket systems require you to take power directly from the battery... "Most" might be an overstatement - but I haven't seen one that doesn't ask for this type connection. The battery acts as a line conditioner - and has the reserve capacity for when the alternator is operating in "on/off" charging (think voltage regulator).
