So.........I had issues with my original charging system, causing the battery-voltage to reach as high as 15 to 16.5 volt.
(measured at fuse-block) I would have 14.5 to 14.8 at the battery (seize 31C) Fully charged!!
The battery is never really low due to a ( 1 Amp.) solar-panel I place on the floor of the boat when not at camp for bail-pump to have juice
The fully charged battery with added voltage produced by the stator was affecting my newly installed Tach.(over-voltage) and to bring the voltage down I would have to run it with the navigation-lights on & use the trim-motor as few times.
Now this is what I did;
-Disconnected the original Force Rectifier
-Installed a (20 amp.) rectifier/regulator used for solar-panels
one of the yellow-wires to the rectifier/regulator the other yellow-wire just to the Tach.-wire
Works like a charm regulating the (battery) voltage at 13.8
Now it was time to add my solar-panel back in to this "set-up" long story short to get it to be hooked up both I had to install a directional-diode in the Pos. wire to have it working.
I have not put my clamp-on meter on the circuit to see; how much the stator is putting out.
I would imagine half because only on set of whining is being used??
Has anybody ever done a similar set-up? will this have consciences?
