Default Re: Optima 6v batteries and third brush generator

Koates advice is spot on.

I restore Ford generators and often see generators set to too high a charge rate. I run optimas in both my '31 and '35. The only difference is I've installed Mike Hill's Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) inside both generators. This converts them to 2-brush and provides full regulation. It is the ideal set up and completely hidden.
