Thanks for these videos... pretty cool stuff! Glad they took the time to make them even though pretty old vintage stuff.

To charge a second battery unless they are side by side, operating as one, using a DC to DC charger is the best option, it only charges when the engine is running. And provides correct voltage to the battery

Helpful, thank you brandon

They still avoided telling you what the average output voltage for the common outboards they produced should be at idle and WOT with non-regulated systems with everything working operating as it should. It's like it's some huge secret they don't want anyone knowing.

Just went through an old manual. Nothing in there either. I guess it's safe to assume around 14.4V-14.8V in WOT (like in many other charging systems) and much less in idle. Could be way under 10V

Most people say it's 16+ Volts at WOT with a fully charged battery. I'm just trying to figure out if that's what the factory says it should be. Also I'm trying to figure out why are they trying to hide it. Why don't they mention it but they do with a regulated system?

@@TheRIFLEMAN243 Some google and in iboats someone indeed said 16V spikes are normal. Go figure?? Too many variables in non regulated i guess??

I don't know if they are trying to hide it, or just no so clearly saying they don't know/it does matter. Seems the inspection procedure is: Does it have voltage? Yes. The system is working. Does it have voltage? No. The system is not working.

@@BrandonsGarage You are exactly right Brandon. These charging systems remain crude devices, the measurable output of which depends on a lot of variables that are not practical to try to isolate. So one should make sure of adequate charging at near WOT and live happy ever after ! Regards.
