: shut down for real... Also, forget the current meter - it's close to
: worthless... What you want is a voltage meter... On my plane the port : engine regulator is adjusted to 14.1 volts and the starboard to 13.8 : volts... Not sure if you're talking of an ammeter or a loadmeter. What one really needs to know the health of the system is *both* a voltmeter and loadmeter. If I could only have one or the other, however, I'd agree that a voltmeter is more useful. Anything under 13 and the alternator is maxing out (for a given RPM). Anything under 12.5 and the battery is discharging. Anything over 14.4-ish and the battery is boiling. -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** ***********************
