  1. The car isn't running currently, should run in a few weeks. What I'll do is actually measure the output voltage over the range of a small drive. The UK6TNMF is rated to charge at 14.4V (which would be 28.8V for a 24V-setup), a slightly lower charging voltage. I'll revisit the topic in a few weeks
  2. To clarify... The AGM's like to be charged at 14.8V, so I expect I should give them 29.6V from the alternator. So I need to step up from 28V to 29.6V. In case this wasn't clear -Sjoerd
  3. Hi Clive, Thanks for that link, that will go into my car documentation . Is there any way for me to verify that this regulator is actually fitted. It must be inside of the device, as there is no external box. The alternator has the B1+ wired to the batteries (via the starter). The B2+ was originally probably used for the radio's, but is now disconnected. The WL is connected to the warning light (battery icon). The vehicle is 24V, with the exception of the headunit and windshield heater, currently this is hooked up to a 24 to 12V converter. Remainder of the vehicle is fully on 24V. You say regulating down, but I assume you mean up, as I'm trying to supply a higher voltage to the batteries. So, if adjusting the regulator is not an option, then perhaps add a voltage step-up/boost between the starter and batteries? Can this be done efficiently? Thanks Clive! (and yes, I read All Charged Up :angel:)
  4. Hi, My 110 has a No.16 Mk.1 Generator, said to provide 28V, 90A. I've fitted two Banner AGM batteries, which like to be charged at 14.8V each, AGM's require a higher voltage compared to Lead Acid. [i'm assuming that I can just divide the 28V by 2 to get the voltage that each individual battery is charged with, not sure if that's correct] I see a few options and possible problems.. Can I modify the generator so it will output a higher voltage? But 24V equipment might be put on a higher strain by this perhaps, or does the battery in the circuit smooth this voltage difference out? I was thinking about an LDO between generator and battery, but don't think they come in versions that can handle a 100A. Perhaps any other idea's or input? Thanks, Sjoerd
  5. Hi all, I'm situated in the Netherlands and the owner of a Dutch armed forces 1986 Land Rover 110 (Defender). Travelled across Africa extensively with this car, so perhaps I might be of some help regarding to questions about this vehicle. Next year I'll be doing a SE Asia trip with this car, and for that I'll post a few questions on this forum. kind regards, Sjoerd
