I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

The only way I see this as being beneficial is if you're replacing a faulty component anyway, but even then, a faulty component isn't necessarily a sign of a defective design.
In my experience (having replaced most of the charging system on my own bike), the best thing you can do for your charging system is to take time to ensure that all of your connections are clean and tight, and then pack them with dielectric grease. It's really a rarity to see charging components fail unless you have another, unseen problem going on.
