The generator operates at no load when the cutoff relay is open.
If there is no safe way to test the result of the polarization procedure there is always the chance of distroying compoents.
These older generator automobile charging systems were notorious for over charging the batteries and the head lights were always turned on when traveling on the highways.
Have read in the literature that the 6 & 12 volt gel cell battery requires a lower recharge voltage than the other styles of lead acid batteries.
"OPTMA" manufactures a 6 volt gel cell battery marketed for vintage vechicles.
Also have read in the literature that gel cell batteries are the most sensitive to over charging and if the incorrect battery charger is used on a Gel cell battery poorformance and premature failure is certain.
To your knowlege are there nany solid state 6 volt VR's available?
Steve found a solid state cutoff relay for the single terminal output style
Seems like adjusting the offout relay and VR is a real pain and most people probalby don't even bother.
