Voltage regulator options ?
I just bought a 91 G9 it came with no voltage regulator What options do I have in regulators? It is supposed to have the expensive one with the 4 wire square plug. Can it be setup with the cheaper 3 wire Yami regulator or an automotive style that I have 3 of in the garage?

Re: Voltage regulator options ?
you can use the old style 3 wire ajustable hitachi regulator
G9 electronic regulator tend to over charge & drain battery |

Re: Voltage regulator options ?
What leads you to say that? Yes they can go bad and not charge or overcharge, but drain the battery? Or are you saying "overcharging" will damage the battery? I agree you could cut the wiring and install a Hitachi adjustable voltage regulator (not an aftermarket one, there not adjustable) We just need to give members solid advice.

I have a few regulators in my Buick parts box. I was thinking about maybe using one of them. Would you not just set it 15.5v hi rev and 13v idle ? With lights, stereo and trailer lighting I would think a little extra wouldn't hurt. How many watts does the generator put out ideally? |

Re: Voltage regulator options ?
Ok, but a voltage regulator will not drain a battery, it may not charge it, it may even overcharge it, but not drain it. Just so other member's understand.

Do you have a part number for the Hitachi VR and some wiring advice? What do I do with the extra wire when converting to the 3 wire Hitachi ? |
