You are getting maximum cooling - is that a benefit for you?

In 05 the altenator was setup to be regulated to shut off when not needed. So it may be a normal cycle.
You may have a weak battery too unless you have replaced it.
I have an 05 and never notice any major dropping. The fans come on and ramp up very smoothly.
As for the fans running on high all the time. Mine does not. Even in the GA summer heat it will cycle from high to medium or from a single fan to both.
