Thanks Lee. The regulator is external so I can see the four wires that go to the alternator - one each to each output pole of the alternator, two that go to the field (one labelled "FLD", the other "STA").
I am measuring the voltage at the batteries, I have a panel meter but have also checked with my digital voltmeter. Both are in rough agreement (the panel reads about 0.2 V low).

Have you checked the meter? Running this charge for very long may damage the batteries. Lee Haefele Hal Craft Talisman (Sabre 38, MK 1) Ithaca, NY/Robinhood, ME
