Re: Generator cut out issues

Paul_K,

Check your ammeter, do you show a charge, and what is the rate?

I had a similar condition a few years back, turned out to be a battery that was old and wouldn't hold a full charge. It was enough to start the car, but after running at night with headlights it would slowly loose charge, even with the generator putting out 15 amperes.

If you have or can borrow a battery hydrometer you can easily check the condition of the battery. Most auto stores have a inexpensive one.

Regards.

Dave
