Rectifier bad, Charging at 16.5 Volts

Recommended Posts

I noticed that my voltage meter was pegged so I checked the voltage at the battery with the engine running and it was at 16.5 volts. The original rectifier/regulator is very expensive from what i'v read. Anyone know of an alternative regulator? Thanks Barry.

When the one on my ONAN 16 went bad I managed to score one on E-bay from Joes Outdoor Power for about $24.00. New they are almost $100 if I remember right.

Before you buy one make sure it is grounded good, and the wire leads are in good shape, then if you still need one send me a PM I have a few and I have a regulator tester here to check them before I sell them, so you know your getting a good one.

How do you test them Kelly? I have one not sure if working properly.

Yup I have one of them, they are nice, not cheap but very nice to have when you sell parts like I do.

And as of today I don't have any good onan regulators.
