- Need help as to what's going on with the electrical system in my BN7. The ammeter (which I installed some years ago) is showing a charging of 30+ amps. Turning on the headlights helps a bit...got me

- How do you know the VR is working properly? AFAIK, an A-H regulator controls both voltage and current. That's why there's three coil/points sets: one controls charging voltage, one limits output cur

- Thanks a lot for the reply, Bob. My regulator is the two coil type and I replaced it with another and the amperage was still reading near 30. I replaced the ammeter with another I had and that still

- One of these two statements is incorrect. I would have the battery tested, and if it tests OK, I would go after the voltage regulator. Rick _______________________________________________ Healeys@au

- Once again my ignorance of the 'mid-year' Healeys makes its existence known (I think my BJ8 has a three-coil VR but, actually, it's been a while since I opened it up). 13.5V at the battery seems a bi

- First of all I would have the battery checked, it most certainly is the easiest part. Kees Oudesluijs [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type text/x-vcard which had a name of coudesluijs.vcf] ___

- I don't think it is possible to overcharge a car battery at 13.5 volts. If I remember right, 13.8 is the nominal charging voltage at full charge. So at 13.5 volts the battery is not likely to be acce
