Voltage Stabilizer
was on the bay today and seen this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volta...1%7C240%3A1318
WTF is it and what does it really do......never seen or heard of such
i throwing a flag on it
THOUGHTS???

Re: Voltage Stabilizer
Many simple DC power supplies regulate the voltage using a shunt regulator such as a zener diode, avalanche breakdown diode, or voltage regulator tube. Each of these devices begins conducting at a specified voltage and will conduct as much current as required to hold its terminal voltage to that specified voltage. The power supply is designed to only supply a maximum amount of current that is within the safe operating capability of the shunt regulating device (commonly, by using a series resistor). In shunt regulators, the voltage reference is also the regulating device.
If the stabilizer must provide more power, the shunt regulator output is only used to provide the standard voltage reference for the electronic device, known as the voltage stabilizer. The voltage stabilizer is the electronic device, able to deliver much larger currents on demand.

so its pretty much
right???our cars have internaly regulated alts so this is just some ebay junk???

Just because you don't need it, doesn't mean it's

Re: Voltage Stabilizer
While I've never seen one this cheap (definitely worries me a bit), there is merit to this part for the stereo guys. If this unit does what it says its supposed to, it manages to eliminate dips and spikes in voltage. In an all out competition setting, a dip in voltage could cost you do to a drop in spl, etc. However, for the every day car driver, spend your money elsewhere.
As for the auction title, they're just trying to get the product seen in searches it normally wouldn't. Sneaky sneaky
