    Yeah that doesn't sound right to me either. The E terminal only needs a momentary voltage input to "start" the voltage regulator. Once it starts, the VR controls alternator excitation and monitors voltage, load, etc - the AC terminal is a PWM output from the VR that indicates load. The VR and...

If you hook the 24v batt/load cables together one one stud, and the 12v batt/load cables together on one stud and disconnect it's cannon plug that...
