OK, although I may check the rectifier and its ground connection since its raining out.
I made this video for testing the rectifier on a combined unit, but it'll work for testing yours tooOK, although I may check the rectifier and its ground connection since its raining out.
That's just the nature of cheap meters. It's not a problem, it just means that amount has to be deducted from your reading.my meter fluctuated between .001 and .002, not good I assume.
.68V is on the high end of what's acceptable... but it is acceptable. Just remember, your problem was overcharging. Too high a voltage loss (drop) across the diodes would cause charging to be lower. I'd say you're good. But, your rectifier is 40+ yrs old. I'd just suggest that replacing it would be good preventative maintenance practice.52, I was showing .56ish, this was during your second and fourth tests, @ the 3:50 and 4:40 marks.
During your 3rd and fifth tests at 4:15 and 5:10, you once again were about 1/2 a volt, while I was at .65 -.68.
Easy, watch and see if the rubber spade boots meltNow, how does know if their cooling plate is large enough to do the job?
