I want to do a quickie 12V conversion on Dad's W400.
1. The battery's shot.
2. The old charging system isn't working 100%.
3. All the parts to convert to 12V, including the battery, cost about the same as the big honkin' 6V battery.
If I simply take the wire from the GEN terminal on the regulator, and move it over to the BAT terminal on the regulator, will that effectively bypass the regulator?
I would then transfer the wire from the A terminal on the generator to the BAT terminal on the alternator and use that as my main charging line.
From Bob M's schematics, it looks like it would work.
