onefarmer said: (quoted from post at 14:37:32 01/18/10) I was and still am agreeing with you. If everything is correct, big leads to their terminals and center tap 12v chassis grounded. All good. Something goes wrong then the smoke is let out.
"Something goes wrong then the smoke is let out." Isn't that always the case with anything electrical?
On another point, however, we likely have a bone to pick. I see nothing to suggest that the following is an accurate description:
The generator is a split 24v also. The 24v splits into 12+ and 12- with a center chassis ground. So each batt gets its own 12v and gets charged individually. This balances the batts so one doesn't cook while the other is still under charged.
I believe that the charging is a simple matter of batteries being charged by a single, non-split, 24volt gen/reg where the current is the same thru the series of batteries, with no provision to yield any more or any less charging to one battery than the other, even if one should be more discharged than the other. That generator is just like the starter in that it knows of no ground and that regulator only knows of 24 volts and knows of no ground and thus knows of no +12 and -12.
I could be wrong, but so far see no evidence to support that position.
