Rich, Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a source of low cost voltage regulators. Might I suggest a buck boost converter (they offer one), as our battery voltages fluctuate. A buck boost converter "should" be able to handle those fluctuations and keep the output consistent. That's in theory, if course. I'm ordering one of theirs to verify.

I am also concerned about the long term negative effect of high voltage levels during battery charging. The only practical solution is to install a voltage regulator in the lighting circuits. After a day of unsuccessful local research, I stumbled on the URL below and have ordered a couple to try out. The source dx.com is an interesting one you may wish to explore a bit. http://dx.com/p/car-150w-dc-8-32v-to-9-46v-voltage-boost-converter-regulator-for-laptop-blue-206971?utm_rid=95527470%2C95527470&utm_source=shopping&utm_medium=pcs&utm_campaign=paidshopping Rich Knowles INDIGO LF38 Halifax, NS. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
