    Charging Failiure

    You could do either with a sawsall or a portaband in just a few minutes. Cleaning up the notch with a die grinder. I like the handheld bandsaw for this job as the cut is more precise/controllable. I would make the front and rear cuts straight to depth, and then cut inside those lines and...

    Charging Failiure

    Well worst case a 100ah group 31 wet cell bank will try and draw 25A. If it is charged, the load will be nothing significant. Lighting load is 10-15A@24V. Not sure what the rest of the loads total up to @24v... so best case probably within its limit, worst case slightly overloaded...

    Besides being commonly available, another good thing about that series of alt is that they also have a remote sense input. This allows you to run a sense wire to the battery + terminal so the alt can adjust its output to deliver its rated voltage AT the batteries. Because of losses on heavily...

    Charging Failiure

    The killer on the dual volt alternator output capacity is that half of its amp capacity is delivered at 12V, so with 12v loaded to capacity, overall alt output is cut by 1/3 over that of a straight 100A@24V alt(1930W vs 2800W). For a straight 24V alt, 100A is probably plenty, even for 4 6T...

    Charging Failiure

    Have you gone thru the Neihoff manual troubleshooting steps? There is a procedure in there to determine if it is an alternator or regulator. As mentioned you need 24v on the ENG terminal on the voltage regulator, thats the forward screw terminal on the reg, to turn on the alternator. That...
