Re: not good at all
Hello Dave, that should still be fine, your systems only needs 12V to crank it over. Normally when the rg/rect goes it over charges by alot and takes all the acid from the battery. have you checked the battery fluid level? Was the battery deffinately flat? next time check to see if your lights come on.
What's it charging at with the lights on. I think the manual says it should be charging at 13.6 to 14.7V at 5000rpm with lights on, figures will be wrong. but I like your figures
