    Generator works but does not charge my batteries

    My only issue is the wire 81a does not have good volage (1.3V only) to POS lug on starter to charge my battery. but I don't want to replace the SSI EESS box, which maybe bad--as far as giving correct voltage to wire 81A to charge the battery. So I might just as well run a wire straight from...

    Generator works but does not charge my batteries

    I traced all paths, all working, I think the EESS box is bad as far as not putting out good voltage. Otherwise, it still works good and starts my truck. I don't want to fork out $500 changing it while it is still spanking new. That is why I ask you all for your opinion on my idea of a jumper...

    Generator works but does not charge my batteries

    I have inspected all connector and box, all seems to be Ok with no burnt marks. But this what I have found: Sticking the test probe into the 81A wire at the cannon plug, I have either correct 27.3V or 1.6V. One time it is correct another time it is not. There is not telling of when or why the...

    Generator works but does not charge my batteries

    Please note I have Prescolite 60AMP gen. I adjusted the voltage screw and opened up the cover. I got voltage set at 28.5V--within recommended range. Point A, below: However, at point B, below, the voltage is so crazy, it changes all the time from 3v to 14, to 21 up 24V! Most of the time it...

    Generator works but does not charge my batteries

    further testing and investigation Here is is a better picture of the cable going into the starter. Again, with my observation: this is the only cable from somewhere else that can charge the battery if that is the case, one with my finger on it: I will open up the alternator and test the...
