Deep water kills alternator

<< < (3/3)

bobtailed disco:
Just been doing a bit of research the stop solenoid cuts out at 7 volts.
The prob is knowing how long the bat will last until it drops down to 7 volts.

I have had a idea on the alternator i have got a brand new military 24v wolf alternator (water proof so i am told) i am thinking about having a 24v charging system (on 2 battery's) and then only running off the first 1 to ground I.E. 12 volts (if i am correct)

Any 1 got any more info would be gr8

Cheers
Rob

Two years ago I managed to drive from just this side of Dover to Cardiff with a knackered alternator, by the time we reached the severn crossing we had no indicators (or any other electrics).  The stop solonoid gave up just as we were reversing our caravan in to its parking place....

insa-disco:
why not run twin batterys and run the stop sollenoid off of one and everything else off the other, i dont think the stop solenoid will use that much????

bobtailed disco:
GOOD NEWS
got the alternator going again  :dance:  :dance:
it just took 20 mins with the pressure washer and a can of WD40 lol  :lol:  :lol:
