    Thanks Bob, yep, I checked it with 3 different meters and they all read the same. I just talked to Deltran and they confirmed that the Batterytender probably was ready for the big parts box in the sky. That'll teach me to let the thing fall off the wing...more than once <g>.

    Alberto Thats the radio that I am installing in my plane as well. I also note it has aux inputs available for the MP3 and GPS warning. As I am a 2 seat Zodiac XL thats all I should need as its got a built in Intercom, thats one of its selling features. Friends with the radio love the intercom and say its great.

    Subject: Over Voltage Module sharing?
    From: "jonlaury" <jonlaury@impulse.net>
    Trying again. I'm using Z13 in conjunction with Z31-B. Is there anything wrong about the aux alternator and the ground power jack sharing the same OVM? The only condition that I can think of where both systems would be in use simultaneously is a ground powered START on the aux alternator and that may not even be an issue unless the OVM tripped. The issue being what caused it, the GPU or the aux alt. Is this doable? Unwise?, how would I wire it? Thanks, John Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=303524#303524

I would like to take you up on your offer to let me borrow your punches. I will be happy to pay the Flat Rate USPS postage both ways. If you have changed you mind about loaning the punch, please let me know and I will make other arrangements. Thanks, Roger

    Subject: Re: Battery tender
    Bill, ...before you trash the BT, take it apart. Unless, they have changed the assembly, it used to have 2 adjustable pots inside. You had to pick off a little silicon glue first. One pot set the max voltage charge level before it flipped state to the float voltage level. The second pot set the float voltage. That one should be about 13.2 - 13.4 volts. If you can make adjustments on your unit, make very tiny pot corrections and wait to see where the level settles out. I have seen brand new units not set correctly. You can also let us know if they pot the units now, or got rid of the pots.....

    Thanks David. I'll give it a try tomorrow if I get out to my hangar. This is an old unit...had it for about 7-8 years now. I ordered up a new so if this doesn't work I have a back up. Any idea on which pot is which?
