I did a bunch of searching and I have not located the specific information that I am looking for. I have a 100 amp alternator in my 1986 M998 with the dual voltage regulator that I assume was installed in 2007 when the Vehcile was overhauled in ME.
I spent of bunch of time and made a nice bracket and mounted my 12 volt side fuse block and breaker under the hood I guess I should have measured the voltage at the battery while the engine was running instead of in the run position before I started this project.
to keep confusion down here is what I am measuring at the batteries while running and my gauge does read in the green while running and I have not had any starting or charging issues.
These readings we taken at idle
28.5 running volts
15.3 running volts - rear battery
Does anyone know if the 100 amp voltage regulator is adjustable? I read that the 200 amp amp regulator Is not but I have not been able to confirm one way or the other on the 100 amp. I did find out that the 100 amp and 200 amp regulators mount in the opposite direction so I assume they are different.
I am curious what voltage readings that others have measured it would be nice to turn it down about .5 volts I am concerned about the 12 volt side putting out to much voltage and possibly damaging electronics
I think I read the specs on the 60 amp adjustment was 28 volts + or - .5 volts which puts 28.5 at the top end of factory specs
