So nowt wrong with it. Just low batteries taking max from alternator which gets hot and reduces output a bit. 12.4 is nearing flat for...

Sounds quite normal, in a 1990's kind of way....

Where are you taking the voltage measurements and what exactly are you using ?

That sounds like the low end of normal. It might produce a bit over 14V with no load, but you're pulling 31A from what might be a 45A...

Will do, but think I have checked this in the past. Should I be seeing 14.4v there, and if not always them when? I took it to mean days...

I have a BEP monitor and it's figures agree with Victron smart solar House battery voltage. I have also confirmed the BEP reading with a...

Yeah very 90s. Not usually off marina power for this long.

Have been on batteries plus some solar for a few days so batteries were down to 12.4v with fridge load only before I started charging...

If it is the standard alternator you should see 14.0 to 14.4volts at the alternator terminals Workshop manual page 68 The difference...

Is your alt. self regulated, i.e. internal regulator, or do you have some other external form of regulation. Where is the alternator...

There’s two sides to the OP’s question. Firstly there’s the problem of ‘acceptance’ of a lead acid battery as with a standard...

Presumably you mean VSR - unless you are trying to record what’s happening!

Thanks Vic, that was information I was looking for.

Internally regulated, all as standard except for VSR. I am really asking if this is normal for an MD2030D or do I have an issue. The...

I have a MD2030D on a 2004 yacht. I never see over 13.8b off the alternator. I am currently charging the depleted 270ah house bank and...
