You will need a digital voltmeter. Set the voltmeter to 20 volts DC. Check it with the probes. 1. 12.68 Volts = 100% Charge2. 12.45 Volts = 75% 3. 12.24 Volts = 50%4. 12.06 Volts = 25%5. 11.89 Volts...
You can also put the digital volt meter across the positive and negative terminals of the battery, while the car is running. The reading should be no less than 12.5 volts dc, and no higher than 15 volts. If it higher than 15 volts the regulator is overcharging your battery, and it will boil the fluid in the battery.
Some regulators are on the chassis of the vehicle, most are built into the brush assembly of the alternator. Either change the alternator or consult your nearest auto shop for a new brush set and regulator.

What is a motorcycle voltage regulator?
A voltage regulator converts a/c volatge from the stator to dc voltage and regulates it down to under 15 volts. When they go bad they can over charge and take out a battery as well as not charge at all.
The battery gets hot during crank is it the regulator?
Well, it could be the starter not the regulator.
What does a rectifier regulator do?
A rectifier usually means a (set of) electronic components that turns AC into DC, which you need to charge a battery for instance. A regulator - well, it regulates something. Considering the category the question is posted in I'd say it regulates the charging of the battery and/or the output voltage of the rectifier.

Well i would suggest connecting the battery...
What causes the battery light to come on when the headlights goes on?
Your alternator may not be putting out enough Amps to charge your battery and run your headlights as well. You can test this by measuring the voltage from the battery with a multimeter. With the car running the volts should be around 14 or more on a 12 volt battery. Try it with the lights on too.
96 jeep grand Cherokee that shut down you have replaced the coil fuel relay ASD relay fuel pump What else could it be There is no power to the dash board guages fuel pump and ignition system?
Check to see if there is a fusible link in line with power to your starter solenoid. If you aren't sure disconnect your battery ( both cables, neg first ) and use an ohm meter to check for continuity in your main positive battery cable. Did you check to see if you battery will hold a charge? The easiest way to do this is take it to a parts store for a free test. If the battery fails the test it could have been damaged by a faulty voltage regulator. If you take your battery to the shop for a free test might as well take your alternator along at the same time.
Which camcorder battery charges fastest and actually holds the charge longest?
Samsung batteries are quality and will charge well, but it depends more on the type of charger you're using when focuing on battery charge times.
You just replaced your alternator on your Honda civic dx 1991 and the battery light is staying on How do you reset the battery light?
If you disconnect the battery for 20 min it should kill all memory and reset everything.If not you charge is still low charge up your batt. with a charger.and test your alt. output 13.9-13.7 you have to check the book.I'm not to sure on that.You might have a voltage regulator problem bad batt. Or somthing is hooked up wrong. Mabey the old alt was fine. Have the batt. tested. All alt. well most are rebuilts so you might have a bad one it happens.Make sure that it's putting out a charge. All the way to the batt. Good luck.
What is a charge controller used for?
A charge controller is a regulator that you used to keep batteries from overcharging as well as undercharging. You need to keep batteries that are in storage charged so a charge controller will help to keep them at the right charge level.
I Have a battery charger of 1.5 charge amp at 2 amp slow charge for a motorscooter 12v battery labeled std 1.2aX510hrs how many hrs should i charge this new battery to full capacity?
i have a scooter as well the best way for any battery charge cell phone or scooter is half charge battery when new and drain it completely half charge it again drain it once more then fully charge it and your set with scooter 12 hours should give full charge for the first
