Hello,

Even though the generator is producing 13+ volts, it may not be producing enough amperage to charge the battery or if the wiring is suspect you may have problems with connections.

Unless you own or have access to some special measuring tools, you might consider taking the car or just the generator to a generator/alternator shop and have them test the amperage output.

We have a tool that measures the amperage inductively so no wires have to be removed.

If you do not have a local generator/alternator shop, I am sure you can find an independent repair shop that has the tools to help diagnose the problem.

FYI, we have an electronic voltage regulator to replace the mechanical voltage regulators used with a generator so no moving parts to fail or get stuck.
