[Healeys] Alternator vs. generator

[John Harper]

May I just add that converting to negative ground when using such items 
as cell phone, GPS, and iPods is rarely necessary so long as the 'power 
plug' itself is correctly connected.

One has to ask, when did you last see one of these items with exposed 
metal that could somehow be connected to either power rail? If the item 
is fully insulated then there is no problem.

Regards
