btw: the regulator plug was off cause i needed to jump a wire and did not cut it yet.

I wonder how long your batts will like that 15.7V charge...

edit: saw that you're changing it to 15V, good idea.

Is this a mod that you did so that your stock alt puts out that voltage?

 

[Stephen_c 10+ year member]

yes

And you don't share!!?

Btw, wouldn't that blow all your cars electronics? Or is that when it gets above 16v....?

yuppp.. 16v + will put your engine oil on fire

i read somewhere cant remember where its 22v when thing start shiitting. but 16v i think over 10 mins will trip a service light or 18v for over 2 mins. I think i read that in a repair manual:crazy:

yes

Not to rain on your parade, as your discovery is very innovative, but wouldn't you significantly reduce the life of your alt. by doing this? The stock alt is rated @ a certain amperage and setting it to charge that high means it will be running round the clock in an effort to keep up. I think that would wear it out fairly quickly.

 

[mrwigglezdj 10+ year member]

what does amperage have to do with voltage?

you are not going to get any more amperage out of an alt than what it was made to do wind wise and stator wise, voltage is just an industry standard that most regular cars are set at. then you have your 24v big truck alts. that are big amperage and voltage ... but more voltage doesnt mean more amperage....
