gibvel Posted November 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2009 After I put the battery back in yesterday I did a static Current draw test. It's pulling about 3.3 milliamps with everything off. Then I hooked it up, started it and did a voltage test. Seems like the thing is charging at 13.92 volts at high idle and 13.88 at low idle. This was before everything warmed up. Does this sound about right? I thought it sounded a little low but I believe that's what it's put out since I checked it when I put the new battery in it about a year and a half ago. I'm going to check the connectors on the regulator and clean if necessary but I just wanted to find out what others are getting.

1sttenor Posted November 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 5, 2009 I've never done a static test on mine, but running at 2800 rpm I ususally see 14.1v with the driving lights off. I have changed out my stock lamps for Halogen lamps and with them on I have about 13.5v on the system. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
