Pat,,,,, The battery is charged as its ungrounded - post is on the big starter switch post via that big honkin battery cable,,,,, ,,,then theres a wire leading to the Supply side of the Ammeter,,,,, ,,,then current goes through the ammmeter which is almost like a dead short circuit over to its other Load terminal,,,,, ,,then down to the BAT terminal on the Cutout Relay,,,,, ,,,,then through the cutout relay whose contacts close once the genny is working,,,,, ,,to the Armature post on the genny Yayyyyy yyyy The battery is connected there at the big starter switch post which serves as the connection point for other (then the starter)wiring to the battery. If you follow the diagram you can see the curent path whereby the gennys output (its ARM post) gets to n charges the batetry once the cutout relay contacts close. Yo Bob M, I have a question on that wiring diagram. If the wire from the gennys Field post goes FIRST through that Field resistor up on the LHBD switch (i.e. the resistive Low Charge condition) how does the gennys field ever become dead non resistive grounded for the High Charge condition????? ??? Looks to me like the switch would have to have a connection terminal to the gennys field such that it can get a ground path EITHER straight to ground (high charge) or via that resistor (low charge). The way the diagram looks it can ONLY be in the resistive Low Charge cuz how can it ever short by pass around that series in line field resistance as the diagram shows????? ?? Im sure you know this stuff (especially IHC) better then me so I take the diagram as a typo or pictorial error or else I dont understand this at alllll l lol talk to me God Bless yall John T
