Why is it better? * The chopper solution requires more parts and more parts means less reliability. * The power loss in the resistor (about 25W) is easily taken care of by attaching it to the large heatsink (the chassis of the car). * The wasted power is power that would have been used had the resistor not been used, so the rest of the car sees no difference. * Having a chopper pulsing 9 amps creates an low frequency AM transmitter that emits signals both through the air and through the 12V wires. What effect will that have to the electronics in the car? I like high tech solutions, but for this application I find that the power resistor is a better solution. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
