Gents,

Thanks for all your advice.

Made it inot Charleston about 1 hour ago and will deal with alternator isues tomorrow.

It is getting worse - the MC-612 regulator is shutting down in loess than 1 hour, no codes at the green led - totally black. Shutting engine off or turning the ignition key does not fix the problem., I thing the regulator is fried (it is mounted in the engine room, the cable harness was not lomng enough to moount it were we wanted it).

Yes - I put a volt meter on the batteries just do double check - definetely no charge.


The duo charger - I read about the 30 amp issue, borrowed a portable charger anbd fully charged the starting battery. When the duo charger is sensing chargin voltage at the house bank (>13V) charge is trickling thru to the starting battery (confirmed with multimeter, 13.1 V at starting battery)
It does however seem to allow amps to bleed back to the house bank when no charge is present.

I'll keeo you posted.

Thanks again / Jorgen
