I don't know. Put some cardboard in it?
The system shouldn't exceed 15 volts. If the battery tests out okay and you are mechanically inclined, you can replace just the voltage regulator inside the original 1984 alternator. A replacement regulator should cost aprox $30.
If the battery checks out okay, you can replace just the voltage regulator inside the alternator.
it won't. The most you will see from a stationary battery with the engine not running is 12.6 volts. If you are seeing 22 volts with the engine running then the voltage regulator is defective and it will ruin the battery. Most modern alternators have the voltage regulator built into the alternator. Replace the alternator.
All modern automotive alternators have an internal voltage regulator. If the regulator is faulty, it can cause an "over voltage" condition. It is possible to open the alternator and replace the regulator; however, if the alternator already has a fair amount of mileage on it, I'd recommend that you just replace it.
A: Neither these are fixed regulator and the lm140 is ancient. My choice for any regulator is LM117 since i can get 1.25 volts to over 30 volts with two resistor,
Your car should be charging at around 14 volts. I would suspect the voltage regulator is at fault if it is charging too high. You can replace the alternator. If you can find an aftermarket voltage regulator you can replace just that. It is on the back of the alternator.
just another way to bypass the regulator to see if the regulator is bad. I dont recommend doing this just in case you have bad wires it might pump the 13.9 volts directly into your system which might cause a electrical fire. Just check the voltage with a mulimeter and see if its pumping out volts. if it isnt.... replace.
positive 5 volts
Yes. Everything which has a alternator or generator has to have a voltage regulator to maintain 12 volts.
7805 ic is a voltage regulator,up to 5 Volts can maintain.
Voltage regulator is more than likely defective. The Regulator is built into the alternator so you will have to replace the entire alternator. Just make sure it is really overcharging. You should read from 13.5 to around 15.5 volts with a digital DC voltmeter if the alternator is performing as it should. Must more than 15.5 volts and it is overcharging.
To test a voltage regulator on a snowmobile, start by checking the battery voltage with a multimeter; it should read around 12.6 volts when fully charged. Next, start the snowmobile and measure the voltage across the battery again; it should increase to about 13.5 to 14.5 volts if the regulator is functioning properly. If the voltage remains low or exceeds 15 volts, the regulator may be faulty. Additionally, inspect the regulator for any physical damage or loose connections.
