Very true. It might be worth charging them overnight with a 120v charger once, to get them caught up.

No problem about the delay, thanks for posting the charge current. I'd expect up to about 7 amps if the battery is really low, but if it's not so low, or if it's getting old and doesn't like taking a charge, the 4.6A may be in the ballpark. Also, any dirty connections between the regulator and...

The LED should start to come on when the battery voltage is getting near 28.4 or so, depending on temperature. It is intended to show that the battery is nearing full charge, and the regulator is reducing the output of the alternator. That is, it's not allowing full alternator current to get...

Both the original and the replacement regulators are shunt regulators. Because of the way a shunt regulator works, it's normal for the AC to drop when connected to the regulator. It's possible that the regulator is putting out charging current, but the battery is very discharged and hasn't had...

I make them (see my signature). Alternatively, you could plug a 24v battery charger into the convenience outlet or wire it permanently.
