Thanks for the info on the rectifier. I'll put that in my files.
The voltage, unless it's too low, is held down by the battery and cannot go too
high. Overcharging with my seven PV panels and two wind generators has never
been an issue. The rare times that there has been a continuos excess of
incoming juice are counted as equalizing charges.
I do have a regulator for the PV panels but it was a waste of money. Too much
electricity in seven years of harvesting electricity from the sun and the wind
has simply not been a problem.

Hey Norm, just fwiw.
Yep...that's an AC Delco rectifier bridge out of an SI series
alternator....That's a full wave three phase setup btw which would tend to
increase the volts.
