>Your saying that the GEN should charge something all the time? >I have read other postings that say the charge should drop when the battery gets closer to full charge. >True?? ---- True to both statements Dan! The regulator senses the state of charge of the battery and gradually tapers the charge rate as the battery approaches 100% charge.
Normal operation will have the ammeter show about 15 amps of charge immediately after startup. Then assuming the battery was near full charge before you cranked the engine up, the ammeter will taper off to 3 - 5 amps or so after a few minutes of running. It will then stay around 3 - 5 amps indefinitely. Note the above also assumes the engine is running near full speed. If you run it slower the charging rates will be less. (And it will not charge at all at/near idle RPM.)
