[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1276573, member: 9096"] I've never seen built in regulators mess up so they overcharge a battery, but with the old style external, mechanical ones, yes. I think while it's running you should be at 14.5V, and not over 15.5V, if the battery blows it's top, it probably has something wrong internally, perhaps too low a specific gravity electrolyte in it. if at full throttle you get over 15.5V it could be the alternator/regulator. On my MF165 when I'm running full throttle for a whole day at a time cutting hay I'll disconnect the alternator, it has the mechanical regulator and I know it overcharges a little [/QUOTE]
