Ken,
From everything I've read, you get much better
performance with a 3 wire than you do with a 1 wire.
A 3 wire will sense voltage wherever you hook the
sensor wire to, and maintain 14.4 volts.
A 1 wire senses itself, so it will put out only
14.4 volts. Ever. No matter what the load is.
If a 3 wire has the sensing wire hooked up to the
battery, or the horn relay (bussbar), it will provide 14.4 volts to that point,
regardless of the voltage loss over the wiring.
So, if you lose 2 volts in your wiring, a 3 wire
setup will supply 16.4 volts to compensate for this,giving your charging system
14.4 volts, while a single wire will still supply only 14.4 volts,
effectively giving your charging system only 12.4 volts.
I hope I wrote this in a way that makes
sense.
