      Oh yeah most older alternators had analog regulators that had two ,maybe three charge stages. most NEW regulators even in internally regulated GM/Ford style alternators NOW use a digital regulator design, it turns on as needed as high as needed.
      Old external regulators had three solenoids sending more power to the stator assembly to increase the out put, kind of like a low, medium, high type switch.
      Now with electronics turning on as needed is much more regulated, to coin a phrase, and it allows better mileage as it ONLY loads engine as needed.
