Thinking of going to the 3phase one from Cps any info would help thanks. Jerry.

As you know 15.5 VDC is too high and can overcharge the battery. SO, the simple cure is to Turn Something On! And then read the voltage. OR! If you are the Electrical Type, just install a Zenor Diode with a value between 13.8 to 14.2 VDC and a resistor to handle the over voltage. 15.5 - 14.2 = 1.4 VDC ... 1.4 VDC @ say 3 Amps = 4.2 Watts // 1.4 VDC / 3 Amps = 0.43 Ohms... Easy enough to get a 0.5 Ohm resistor at 5 Watts. This will limit your voltage to 14.2 VDC for charging. Less expensive than buying a ...
