That may not be true. When I measured voltage to the choke I seem to remember that it took 7.5V. A different voltage could wack out the choke fast? Don't really know.

The choke connects to the stator terminal marked with an "S" on the back of the alternator. Whatever the actual voltage is will be fine for working the choke. Connect it with confidence.
