DC Power Alternator / Antigravity Battery. Question about wiring/charging

Hey OP, Brevard county neighbor here.
I went through this last year. I have two AGMs in my 5th gen and one in my 4th gen. I still put a charger on my batteries every couple of weeks to keep them topped off, mostly because of lack of use, but I installed a Dirty Parts - Alternator Voltage Booster.
Now there have been plenty of people who have modified a GM diode to do what the DP booster does for a lot less money ($10?), but you eliminate a fuse in the process. The chances of having issues are slim, but still there with a fire being the worst case scenario. If you do the DP unit, make sure you designate you want the 5th gen, as the fuse box is laid out a little different from a 4th gen.
Here is the one I installed: Dirty Parts
This one is more expensive but a pretty cool switchable model w an over boost mode: ARC LIGHT LEDs
I did a short video of the install on my 4th Gen:

Got the part installed today, think its going to do the trick. Stereo monitor shows 14.1 at idle, meter between +/- posts on the battery shows 16.8v vs 14v before the swap.

Thanks to everyone for all the pointers. Wish i would've asked about this issue before making the expensive purchases. Anyone want a brand new DC Power Alternator for $30 off? PM me...

Something doesn't seem right. You shouldn't be seeing over 15 volts at the battery. Be careful because there are electronics that can be damaged from such high voltage. Which part did you go with?
