You can have problems with your voltage going way high if you don't have a battery. I would suggest that if you want to remove the starter and big battery that you install one of the small sealed lead acid batteries like a Powersonic that weighs three or four pounds.
What are you keeping the alternator for? If you are just powering a few instruments you can take off the alternator and use just the small battery. I know of one person running just a small battery for the electronic ignition for take off and landing with no alternator.

I am now busily involved in my KR's weight reduction program, and was wondering if it is really necessary to have a battery on board. Without the battery and starter I can save perhaps 30 Lbs... BUT, my understanding of the alternator system is that I need a battery to provide power from the Alternator fitted to the Revmaster 2100D accessory case. Does anyone know if there is a way to have the Alternator provide power, WITHOUT having a battery fitted? Cheers, Rob.
