Dynamo

Postby Sir_Crashalot » Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:22 am

Hello lads,

I have a small problem with the dynamo (generator) of my Mercedes. It has an output of 13.2 Volts but to charge the battery it needs at least 13.7 Volts. An easy fix would be to replace the entire dynamo with another one but these things are rather expensive (about 100 to 150 Euro). Anybody have any ideas to get that 1 Volt extra out of it?

Thanks in advance,

Crash ;)
