The list received in inquiry about battery regulators recently. The poster dropped it in the middle of a thread so folks might not have noticed it.
The gist of it is this, edited a bit to remove some excessive battery information: Could you help me with the zener battery regulators that are described in "Minimalist Battery Regulators" by Lee Hart, with modifications by Cor Van de Water? http://www.evdl.org/pages/hartregs.html I own a hybrid sailboat with 12 x 12 volt 155AH (C20) AGM batteries. I would like to install zener regulators to make sure that each battery gets the right voltage. Minimum voltage needs to be 12.18v, and maximum voltage needs to be no more than 14.6v. I like the Cor Van de Water design better because the life of a LED is much longer than a regular bulb. Can you tell me what Zener diode I need for Cor's version? Two of 6.8 V? By the way, I was trying to buy the kits, but the link doesn't work, and it's for flooded batteries.
