I like this idea, and would cut out having to use jumpers by installing a switch (or ironically, a relay) to jump them on demand.

Once the weather clears up a bit (or is at least warmer) I'm going to delete the AIR pump which will leave me a spot for an alternator right below the alternator.

How practical is it though? Especially considering the extra investment, weight (not that I'm chasing grams), drag on the engine, etc.
