Higher Amperage Voltage Regulator
Hey gang,
I am in need of a voltage regulator for my 2002 Carryall, that can handle a higher amperage throughput. Or - maybe one that has a higher duty cycle? Here is the issue. I have a full strobe lightbar mounted to the roof of my cart. When I run it for longer periods of time (say 40+ minutes) it seems its frying the voltage regulator. I am not sure if I am buying junk to begin with (although the first Stens I received from amazon was DOA), or of the small cube regulator just cant handle that kind of output for extended time? I am looking for options. and I need to try to get something in place before Saturday AM for an event I am doing. I am hoping that maybe there is a larger regulator that I can use, with minor wiring mods, that can handle the constant abuse I will be giving to it. Thanks for any help! Mike |

Re: Higher Amperage Voltage Regulator
It would help if we knew what the light bar data plate says for volts and amps.

I know I have run it on a 30 amp with no issue. I have no way of measuring amperage over 10 amps... so its hard to say for sure. |

Re: Higher Amperage Voltage Regulator
What about adding a 2nd seperate battery?

Re: Higher Amperage Voltage Regulator
I also have to wonder if you might be able to convert the light bar to LED's which would draw far less power.

Re: Higher Amperage Voltage Regulator
How about using a separate deep cycle battery, and charge it after every event?
I've heard of adjustable voltage regulators, but they regulate the voltage, not the amperage. |

I did find some external regulator options on the following site: http://www.cpgenerator.com/voltageregulators.html Either the first or third option. Attached is the battery setup: |

Re: Higher Amperage Voltage Regulator
I should mention that the batteries in the picture are the aux batteries, starting battery is in stock location.
