Tom,
I'm sharing this with the whole list since I'm assuming that other
Ambo/Eldo owners may be equally bemused by the chargins system.
A couple of more questions. The various internet sites about regulators,
generators alternators etc., seem to spend numerous bytes going on about
polarizing the system. I always thought that when you put in a new
reulator, yo simply unbolter the old one slapped in the new one, turned the
key, made sure it was both charging and cutting out then drove off into the
sunset. How important is this polrizing.
My other question involves solid state regulators. Is this possible with a
generator. The Bosch solid state regulators only seem to have D+, DF and D-
pins. The other connections seem to be involved with starter relays and
stators and rectifiers (diode boards). Am I correct that one cannot do a
solid state regulator on a generator system.
And finally, do I need to worry about the polarizatin on my generator? I
did polarize the new (now non regulating) regulator as per the instructions
inthe box.
