Hi
As the Measham is fast approaching my attention has been focused on my charging and lighting systems i.e will i get round on one battery?
These are the readings recorded on the cars ampmeter, incidently I know the charging system has two settings M & D but what do they stand for? I was told 'D' was for winter night driving but why use the initial 'D'
I digress see readings below and I would be grateful for your comments.
6v system with LED lighting with recently fitted battery.
'M' setting no lights 1 amp at idle
With sidelights 0amps
With headlamps -3amps
No alteration to out put figures when revs increased.
'D' setting no lights 2 amps at idle
14 amps when revs increased.
With headlamps on -2 amps at idle
11 amps when rev'd.
Does this indicate adequate charging rate for this event.
Many thanks
Paul
