Alternator check?
Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2023 12:40 pmComrades, now that I've deleted the magnetron primary ignition and replaced it with a SDS electronic rig, I'm TOTALLY alternator dependent, and so I'm adding an alternator check to my runup checklist. What voltage should I be seeing at what RPM? I have hydraulic brakes, so I MIGHT be able to hold a full power runup, and my hunch is I don't get ANY charging until at least 2000 RPM. I'm thinking 13.2 volts minimum at 2700 RPM? The SLA battery I'm using likes a fairly high charge voltage, so I wonder if that's enough.
