Yes, the BAC valve responds to high electrical loads from the alternator.
I'm can't understand why everyone is so keen to remove it. It's not like there are any downsides to having it there.
If you really want to know if you need it, simply unplug it. Turn on everything electrical and see what happens.

Agreed NZ, if it's working, or can at least be cleaned, there's no reason to remove it. If it's completely dead and you've got no use for it anyway (ie, no loads at all other than the alt) it's ok. But leave it is my suggestion
