So will the series R/R meter power demand from the alternator and release more to the engine? Like when I disconnected the cables on my teeny bike? Or does the alternator still sap the engine whatever?

An SCR shunt gets damned hot doing this. A MOSFET shunt doesn't get so hot - but is still doing exactly the same 1960's thing, just with updated semiconductors that make it more efficient/turn less power into heat. Any drag on the motor due to the alternator will be identical with both types of shunt; the alternator is running 100% output, 100% of the time. I thought this was a pretty clear, readable explanation, of the difference between shunt/series R/Rs from triumphrat https://www.triumphrat.net/threads/c...upgrade.104504 - they're talking about the SH775 here: Quote:
