charger charging prob

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed Feb 02, 05 9:10 am

hi, car flattened battery after running with the lights on for about 6 miles last night, checked charge rate at battery, only getting 11.9 to 12.1 with lights on and 13 with lights off, this dosent seem enough? also i think car might have later[70 on] alternator fitted would this make a difference? also have electronic ignition but still have mechanical regulator fitted thanks for any help , trev

Told you that regulator would give you grief Trev.

I think his best bet is to fit the solid state type Jeff.

Here is how it hooks up Trev.

I've got some electronic regs coming from the states very shortly, they're in the original looking mechanical case so looks stock.

they're on our web site if you want to take a look.

Trev

i've looked at the tech on the regs and it seems it doesn't matter whether it's one pin or two pin alternator, you just have to earth the second pin

take a look at the page yourself, here's the link
