High charging level
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
12 years ago
I was out flying this morning (912UL) and after a few circuits the charge rate went to the maximum on the gauge. I turned on the landing light and tip lights before the rate went back to 14 volts. After a few minutes I tuned off the lights and everything was normal. It increased later on, but tuning on the lights brings everything back to normal.
Is this an indication of a failing regulator or what is the most likely culprit? I was planning a 2 hour flight tomorrow. Do you think is presents an issue?? Planing on paying close attention and running lights if necessary. The battery is only 3 months old, but is a standard auto type, not aircraft certified.
Any and all comments appreciated!
Cheers
