Just curious. Do the solid-state regulators have adjustments? Is it possible for
one to put out too much voltage?

Seems like just under 14V may be better from airport talk.

Depends how often you fly/how long you spend in the air. With frequent
use and longer legs, the voltage should be set a little lower.

The battery manufacturers useta publish charts that recommended bus
voltage based on battery operating temperature. The higher the battery
temp, the lower the voltage.

Problem is, you are "supposed" to set them according to the aircraft
manufacturer's specs.
