| Subject: | Re: Too high volts 583 |
I had problems with the 866-080 regulator shortly after I got my aircraft flying.
I changed to the 264-870 regulator (the one with the fins on it). It regulates
very close to 14 volts at full-throttle, with our without a load on it. It's
worked well for about 20 years now.
The literature mentions the 866-080 regulator needs at least a 1A load on it to
regulate properly. I found that to be true. So when the battery is fully-charged
and not putting a load on the regulator's output, the voltage increases. Putting
a load on it drops the voltage somewhat, but it's rather imprecise. However,
the 264-870 regulator doesn't have that problem. It regulates properly with
no load on it.
