1. Re: MG TD Voltage Regulator Cooking Battery? (score: 1): Author: Jerry Felper <felperg@earthlink.net>; Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 11:19:14 -0700; Bob Lower the regulator voltage setting to 15.5V. Start the engine and hold the RPM to about 2000 than disconnect the battery and measure the D terminal. The generator is now running the car and you; /html/mg-t/2000-07/msg00001.html (7,924 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Jerry Felper <felperg@earthlink.net>; Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 11:24:18 -0700; Bob You can not adjust the charge rate just the voltage. This is done by adjusting the screw in back of the normally closed contact (left side looking at the front). Jerry; /html/mg-t/2000-07/msg00002.html (7,000 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: BobMGT@aol.com; Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2000 00:25:03 EDT; I don't have any actual figures at hand, but it takes more additional voltage to charge a given current into the battery than the voltage drop that occurs when you discharge the same current.

4. MG TD Voltage Regulator Cooking Battery? (score: 1): Author: BobMGT@aol.com; Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 01:16:55 EDT; The ammeter in my TD has always read around plus 15 amps at crusing speed. This amount of constant charging didn't seem right to me, so I hooked up a voltmeter and discovered the generator was pumpin; /html/mg-t/2000-06/msg00180.html (7,556 bytes)

For modern battery technoligy, a lower voltage is appropriate (I'll let others reply with the number). I don't. That's way too high.

This cropped up after putting in a new battery. The old battery had been in the car some time, and with age it took mor; /html/mg-t/2000-06/msg00182.html (7,570 bytes)
7. Re: MG TD Voltage Regulator Cooking Battery? (score: 1): Author: BJCJ1@aol.com; Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 20:04:27 EDT; Is this over charging a problem also in the TF series as well? If so, can anyone give me a clue on how to adjust the charge rate? Thanks Bob Killeen, TX; /html/mg-t/2000-06/msg00184.html (7,071 bytes)
8. Re: MG TD Voltage Regulator Cooking Battery? (score: 1): Author: Bullwinkle <yd3@nvc.net>; Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 20:29:00 -0700; My late TD would should have the same electrical setup as the TF. I followed the shop manual and set the voltage regulator at the recommended 15.6-16.2 volts for 86 degrees F. We used a digital mete; /html/mg-t/2000-06/msg00185.html (7,745 bytes)
