Just an update in my case.

I seem to have a parasitic draw that pulls about 180ma, and though my AGM can go deep I need to leave my Arclight Booster at Max boost for the full ~14.9V charging in combo with the occasional slow recharge. Had been doing fine till I can get to the dealer to figure out exactly what the draw is.

However at -5 degrees on my way to work after warming up the 4R I was getting wide voltage swings from 13.6v to 15-17v which is bad, short bursts but still worrisome none the less as well as some dash light warnings (Very brief).

Thinking max boost is fine in colder temps but if its going to get super cold maybe do regular boost.....

No. Diode replaces a fuse and offers no protection to that circuit.
The diode is rated at 1 amp vs the stock fuse (7.5a)

I ended up removing the diode ansrer taking some readings at cold start, driving and idling after warmed up

I get wildly different voltage ranges with or without the booster and depending on boost level. Stock has never given me more than 13.9.

Older 4 runner?
