Charging question, while we're at it

[MikeZ]

Thank you all for replying.

I shut the radios to lower the load and save the battery. In hindsight I could have revved the front engine to generate some juice and maybe re-starting the rear wouldn't have imploded the radios.....

Please, Kevin can you provide more details on the 400 series regulators? Cost? Part #? I understand they are adjustable, whereas the standard regs on my firewall are not.

I would not have changed out to 65 amp alternators if I knew I'd go with engine driven air conditioning.....

No, Kevin, don't have any sophisticated ammeter. Next on my list. Any recommendations?

Thank you all.
