None of my one-wire alternators start charging right when the vehicle first
starts up "I have 3 vehicles with the One-Wire Alternators". I have to
increase the rpm's to something like 1000 rpms or so to get them to show a
charge on my volt meter. Now my other vehicle has a regular off the shelf
internal regulator alternator that isn't a one wire and it will start
charging without having to increase the rpm's.
