This may be true. I had a Powermaster that wouldn't charge my Optima so I replaced it with a 140 amp Tuff Stuff connected as a one wire. It worked fine then went haywire and put out 44 volts to the battery. I popped the cover to the two terminals for a three wire hookup and jumped one to the battery output on the alternator based on something I read on the Internet. Makes little sense to me but it works now. Whatever internally activates the regulator crapped out, I guess.
