Battery voltage, switches and cut out

[Peter Naulls]

Thank you Colin, that's very helpful and suggests the battery and charging voltage is ok. I did for comparison try charging the battery with a mains 6v charger and it charged it to 7v - but this is probably academic. Once charged to 7v the lights are considerably brighter but still dim when the headlights are turned on

Bob, I'm not clear from what you are saying if the charging voltage is governed by the battery or the cut-out? I would have expected it to be the same on low and high charge or am I missing something?

Peter.
