It is my understanding that this would cook your batteries pretty quickly, thus the entire point of a WOT switch - intermittent power to the motor, with time in between for the alternator to recharge the batteries. If you want to run it all the time it truly is more efficient to run it with a belt drive a la vortech than it is to involve the losses and inefficiencies of the alternator, and the charging circuit, and the wire leads from both, and the motor.
