Does size matter??....Need advise on beefing up charging- Lifan 200cc

So with the Lifan 163FML engine, I'd like to raise up the power of the charging system. From my understanding, there's 3 choices..

1. go to an 11 pole AC stator,
2. A 12 pole DC stator plus new CDI, or
3. An 18pole DC stator plus CDI.

Right now I'm only getting 13.2V will most everything on... I need more!! I want to be able to use heated grips, and maybe power a small portable refrigerator- well.... maybe heated grips and few more lights.. or just a few more lights, and power a phone or GPS..

I haven't opened up the left side cover to measure the stator, to know what size flywheel I have, or what size stator is in there, but I'm thinking it's an 8 pole half wave AC stator, and probably 89.5mm diameter.

Can anyone tell me what I have in there?? OK, I guess I'm a bit lazy. But I'd like feedback from any of you regarding which choice and also what size I'd need. It would be nice not to have to swap out the flywheel too, if I can.

Also, anyone know the answer to this?? By increasing the coils in the stator, is the resistance also increased, which could theoretically reduce the engine power.... Is this true, or an old wives tale?

Your help is greatly appreciated!!!
