Might be a good time to consider installing a battery isolator. That will drop the effective output voltage by at least 0.6 volts, and you don't have to worry about the position of the battery switch for engine charging the batteries. 14.4 volts is not bad for alternator charging of flooded cell batteries. If your future alternator has a remote sense wire for voltage, then an isolator will have no effect on the voltage seen by the batteries.

Rather than trying to have it rebuilt I am thinking of buying a new alternator. Is there a higher amp alternator that will fit the single pulley without breaking the bank? I don't want to spend $700 for a Balmar. I have 2 house batteries and 1 start battery. All are currently wet cell, but the next time around they will probably be AGM. -- Joel 301 541 8551 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: [email protected] To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
