Why are ya'll giving a "Delco 1-wire" such a hard time? It would not have been designed, built, and sold if it was inferior. There are thousands it not millions of them in service in the industrial, commercial, and marine applications.
My father and I have a total of at least 5 of them on various pieces of equipment. Not one of them has "drain" issues. Some may sit 3 or 4 months without starting or charging and they start right up. If they are draining the battery, there is a diode failed. My alternator on my 2001 K1500 Chevrolet was draining the battery in 3-4 days and still worked. It was a multi-wire unit.
The only issue with a 1-wire is that after starting you have to rev the engine a bit to kick it in. A 3 or 4 wire uses the ignition circuit to excite the charge process. The 1-wire is excited once a certian RPM is made. Once it is excited, it will continue to charge at idle.
