[Healeys] Battery Chemistry

[Norman Nock]

Jack ... lf your battery is old the generator is
trying to fully charge the battery and it can't , so
it's gassing to much ... replace your batteries 

li your generator  out-put is too high this will cause
the battery to gas ... check you open voltage circuit
...15.8 to 16.4 volts 

more info on page 96 and see index under Lucas
regulator in my Tech Talk book
