It doesn't say so in the description. Why do you think it is intended to
be connected in series?

Free electricity. Sounds to be too good to be true.

Maybe the Rotax two-cycle engines are different, maybe they are talking
about that family of engines?

The voltage regulator of the 912/914 doesn't "waste" enough power to
power a strobe.

I have the schematic diagram of the Ducati regulator somewhere, but as I
recall it doesn't short to ground. If that were true, the regulators
would become hotter when less current is used in the electrical system.
That doesn't seem to reflect the reality.

If it uses both yellow wires it is a parallel system.
Anyway, it is interesting but I could nowhere find any more information
than the one given on ACS, and that is a bit of gibberish to me.
So far I get the impression that the selling point of this thing is that
you don't need a battery or regulator, which may be of interest to
owners of ultra light aircraft, gyrocopters and other minimal setups.
