Cheap (non RMS) AC voltmeters are not very accurate. High AC voltage reading is no concern. All that counts is you have AC going into the rectifier or rectifier/regulator, and DC coming out. Some of those smaller systems have no regulator at all. Larger systems do. Charge your battery and then hook things up. Start the engine and see if the voltage rises. Anywhere from 13 volts to 15.5 volts is fine. If it goes to 16 volts or higher - you can have issues with battery life. Best way to check is with a amp gauge, but a DC volt reading can work well enough.

I don't know if there is problem with quality control in China or they really want battery charge at 16 volts? It is fine for a short time, but not good when done steady.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
