Alternator charging
Posted: August 23rd, 2014, 9:39 am
Just curious,on my manual for my 2001premier,I noticed that the coach batteries disconnect switch does not prevent the alternator from charging the coach batteries,If the converter doesn't stop charging a fully charged battery it has a breaker,However what prevents the alternator from overcharging and damaging a battery?The solenoid protects the engine battery,and the lvd,prevents damage due to low voltage,but I am confused as to what stops the alternator?,I noticed on my new fully charged batteries that the alternator was throwing a 13.8 v charge at idle on them?
