john1980 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi All alternators should charge at 13 to 15 volts with the light's on with slight revs. If it is charging less, you will drain the battery and if it is more it will just kill the battery. You can change the bushess in the alternator but I don't know how to do this.Thanks :| !mistrust Link to post Share on other sites

purple highline monster 0 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Got my charging system checked out this morning, charge rate is fine at idle and when under load, battery may be? a bit low on out put apparantly? just took it for a good hours blatting around the motorways! to give it a bit of charge! that sound is a bit addictive pulls like a jet!! see if it holds its charge over the next week...or its a new battery for me! could be worse it could have been the alternator!! i amy just have to take it for an hours blat every day 8) just to keep it charged up of course i obeyed every speed limit by the way :| ..... yeah right Link to post Share on other sites
