Yes it must be the stndard alternator regulator as I have no Adverc, Stirling or the like. My normal system is a Victron multi with 50A charger but i also have a freestanding 25A charger with an equalising setting. I guess the approach is to use that to do this equalising charge. Your advice is much appreciated Richard, while I have an electronics background I've always found "car" electrics a bit of a black art that I've never understood properly :-( Cheers Guy -- Guy Morgan First Light Services nb Virgo, WFB, Stockton, GU
