All of this is nice... but once you determine that the charging system is NOT putting out the correct amount, how about showing how to determine if it is the voltage regulator, the overcharge relay, or the alternator itself. THAT would be helpful.
A much easier method is to just run to an auto parts store and pick up one of their D.C. Voltmeters that also plug into the lighter. It's a $10 solution for older planes that don't have a digital readout on the panel.
You're absolutely right Justin! That is a much easier method for checking the voltage on 12 volt systems. I'm not aware of one of those that also works for 24 volt systems. Let me know if there's one available.

Yes sir they do. Most are 12/24V, I've never plugged one in a 28V system so can't speak on how well they work.
Awesome... I'll check it out.
Will that read AC voltage?
Much like a car/truck/suv
