Dynamator

[Peter Stanley]

I have just taken my first drive with the 12 volt neg earth Dynamator fitted..The ignition light took a while to go out.
Seems to charge at about 2 or 3 amps. Turning all lights on seemed to make no difference, still charged at 2 or 3 amps...
All up I am pleased with result..

Hi Tony

Thanks for your post it has been reassuring.

I have the same 12V neg earth Dynamator - I am seeing exactly the same thing - the ignition light stays on when you switch the ignition off after the engine has been running.  It looks like there is a residual charge somewhere in the dynamotor and the difference between that and the battery is sufficient to keep the ignition light on until the  charge has dissipated.

I am seeing a similar 2-3 amp charge to the battery, sometimes as high as 10amps. As a means of testing the dynamotor I have 4 x 60W bulbs wired up and the power is delivered without any effect on the charge current being delivered to the battery.

Regards Peter
