I have a 9.9 hp boat motor that has a lighting coil on the flywheel that produces 80watts @ 12v AC. This is peak output, as rev's go down so does output.
The rectifier and voltage regulator are missing from the motor and are discontinued parts. I've searched, and no one can tell me any specifics on the parts either.
I do not know what the Amps are from that lighting coil, but the repair manual schematic shows a 20Amp fuse after the rectifier if using the DC power directly from the rectifier. It shows a 15Amp fuse if using a regulator after the rectifier.
I will be using the circuit to charge the (2) 12V/7 AH 'lights only' batteries. It has all LED lighting.
1. If buying a manufactured rectifier, are they all the same when it comes to voltage and amperage? Any links to a product I could use?
2. I know basic electronics and can build a Rectifier. Is it economically worth it?
3. Is the regulator necessary if I'm just charging the battery?
4. Any way to leave my batteries in parallel conection and charge them together?
5. What should I look for in a regulator. Volts, Amps, etc...
I'm documenting the build on this boat and I'm trying to make 'cost' an important factor. Any ideas are appreciated in building the components I need. Maybe an all in one rectifier / regulator assembly?
Thanks in advance for any help.
