I'm having trouble with my alternator charging. Although I have a 50 amp load analysis (if I have everything turned on and max) I have the 60 amp alternator recommended by VAN's, but rarely use more than 30-35 continuous. Even so, I frequently get battery drain warning below 12.5 volts, and I have to conserve. But it is very inconsistent and for some unknown reason it will bounce back up above 13.5 and charge along just fine. I don't think it is the battery, because I'm not finding any problems on the starting side. But the problem does seem to be getting worse. thanks for any suggestions, ajay Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=335213#335213 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
