Glen,

Have you considered biasing the voltage sense line, to adjust the
regulator output voltage?

I have been thinking about that. Looks like that would be the only way to
control it. The internal regulator is set to maintain 14.4V on the sense
line. Boosting the sense line 1.2V would bring the output down to a safe
13.2V float. You could actually put a microprocessor to sense the battery
voltage and bias the alternator sense to do everything a "smart" regulator
does but that would be more work than I have time for.
