then you need a little more rpm to get the alternator to charge above the battery voltage. About 13.5 volts. The average alternator is now between 1,300 to 2,100 rpm. I set up an old 35 amp alternator to run off a 1/3 hp 1,750 rpm washing machine motor at a 1:1 belt ratio. Using the stock regulator would stall the 1/3hp motor. I put a large adjustable resister on the field connection of the alternator.
Then start engine, run it up to 2,000 rpm, and read battery voltage a second time. If alternator charging properly, new reading will be from 1 to 2.5 volts higher than first reading, the reading taken when engine was idle. MAGNETO TYPE ALTERNATORS. Consider two small stator assemblies for 1.25 A and 3 A charging systems.
