In the right corner it's....Sir Gawain! He is nephew to King Arthur, and an honorable knight of Arthur's Round Table. He is very popular with the ladies, and quite charming. He is loyal to his king and queen and keeps his promises.
To charge the battery, the alternator voltage output has to exceed a minimum charging voltage. This minimum charging voltage is 13.8 volts dc across the battery terminals, or at the output of the alternator. A single lead-acid cell starts to charge at anything over 2.25 volts.ince a 12 volt battery has six cells, any 12 volt lead-acid battery needs at least 13.8 volts to start to charge. This voltage will be enough to fully charge or maintain the battery on a trickle charge, but charging time will be very long at 13.8 volts.
Run tractor at 2000 RPM or so, and measure the charging voltage on top of the battery terminals with your portable volt/ohm meter... Make sure the meter is on the volts DC setting on the 0 to 20 volts range or similiar range..It should be somewhere around 14 volts.he only other thing I can think of if the charge voltage is not 14 or so, and the Alternator static test was good, perhaps a wireing or connection problem when the alternator is reinstalled. We are eagerly awaiting to see what you come up with. James K0UA. James K UA Kioti DK35se hydrostat with 2 QA buckets, 48 inch.
