Joel, Your charging system needs to run between 13.2 and 13.8 volts. Otherwise you will not be changing the battery back to full charge. The exact voltage depends on the type of battery. What RPM are you at with your 11.7 volt reading? At idle the alternator does not put out sufficient current to properly regulate the voltage. Is your battery fully charged (what voltage unloaded)? What electrical items are running when you read 11.7 volts? Have you checked the AC input voltage to you regulator?
Let us know a little more and we can give you better suggestions. Regards, Bob Lee ______________________________ N52BL KR2 Suwanee, GA 30024 91% done only 51% to go!

I just bought Deans Selbys kr2 and am trying to learn the ropes. Thanks Joel _______________________________________________ see KRnet list details at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html
