This is different info from your first post?? If shes only charging at 2 amps I wouldnt expect all that much of a rise in battery voltage from its normal 6.3 volts sitting. A battery can stay up a long time with no generation going on (depending on light use) unless its started a lot which is the major batetry drain. Usually right after a start up the batery would draw heavy curent, maybe 5 to 20 amps depending on charging system and battery state, and then back off to a few amps depending on VR settings. If its indeed charging, depending on genny and battery, the battery voltage should rise from 6.3 to the 6.5 to 7 volt range. Still if theres not a lot of lights used and shes not started real often, a 2 amp trickle charge might keep the battery up a longggggggggg period although the rates I mentioned above are more typical of a good battery and generator system. Tighten the belt and fire her up and dead short ground the gennys Field post (yields MAX charge rate) n see how she charges???????????? if she charges much better ONLY then, I think the genny is okay but there may be a poor VR ground or a bad connection or wiring from FLD on VR to FLD on Genny. CHECK GENNY AND VR GROUNDS AND CONNECTIONS This takes you at your word that it has a Voltage Regulator?? If its a cutout relay and light switch controller post back. John T
