Default Re: Electrical problems

Ray,

I ordered the Xantrex from EPAL Marine Supplies http://www.shopepal.com/p-16637-xantrex ... 7Aodgh8A2g

BTW...When it comes to changing the belt...

Since I suspect it is slipping, based on the fact that the battery light would go off whenever the engine RPMs dropped (like when coasting down a hill) how do I check the alternator to see if it is putting out the correct voltage?

Do I put a meter on the batteries before changing the belt and then after (with engine running)? Or do I have to check at the alternator.

I put a meter on the chassis batteries yesterday and they read 13.5v. Engine has been off and we're on 50 amp shore power since arriving here on Thursday.
