REME 245 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Its an Air Ministry Villiers Battery Charging Unit. They charged through a seperate Generator Panel allowing adjustment in the charging rate and a number of batteries to be charged at the same time. The army versions were the second most common Generator to be found in the army after the Canadian Chorehorse models. I have Petter and Onan engined version for sale if anyone is interested.

REME 245 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I would notspend too much money restoring it as you can buy complete examples of the Generator and Panel for about £100 each. You also need the specific lead for the generator to connect the panel. I may have a spare Dynamo but your engine looks like it has been modified to do something else. They normally drive through a fabric coupling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy66 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks for the reply, as I am restoring a Morris wireless lorry and looking to have a battery charging display. I already have a chore horse generator that I intend to use on bord of the radio box but a extra generator in use with the switch bord shold be a nice thing next to the wireless Morris and my collection of authentic battery boxes. Always interested if you have a complete generator are parts to get my generator working. For sure the remaining engine was used to power something different but the drive copling came with it.
