Hi...i am a new user here. I want to know if you have any other charging system apart from the engine and shore
power neither of which will be charging when you are sailing. What voltage are you seeing on the
built in panel meter when you are getting the alarm also do you have a
separate bow thruster battery?

Hi Neal, Yes, I have a separate 90 Ah AGM battery for the bow truster exclusively. It is charged through a Sterling Bat-Bat charger from the 360 Ah service bank. Apart from my Sterling charger and Shore supply I do not have any other source when underway. I normally use 15%-20% of the battery capacity on a 8 hour sailing day in summer ( fridge, autopilot, instruments, plotter permanently on ). |

Hi Chris,
No idea how its possible to have high voltage with engine stopped unless you have solar panel? If your battery system is using relay/VSR to separate the batteries then its possible to get voltage overrun if the voltage sense wire from your alternater smart regulator is attached to the house battery instead of the engine battery. Its possible they have wired the regulator as per regulator wiring instructions but failed to take into account VSR. VSR sense and alternator regulator voltage sense must be on same input e.g. start battery if that's where alternator charges first.
